Kansas City CPAP Recall Settlement — Check Your Settlement Eligibility

Updated April 2026

Kansas City Quick Facts

Were You a Kansas City CPAP User Affected by the Philips Recall?

Philips Respironics recalled over 15 million CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator devices in June 2021 due to degrading PE-PUR foam that released toxic particles and chemical gases into users' airways. If you used a recalled Philips CPAP device while living in or near Kansas City, you may be eligible for compensation through one or both of the following settlement tracks:

  • Economic Loss Track ($445M): You owned a recalled device. No health problems required. Your device is now worthless — that's compensable.
  • Personal Injury Track ($1.1B): You developed health conditions — cancer, respiratory damage, or other injuries — from breathing foam particles and chemical gases.

Filing Deadline for Kansas City Residents

As a resident of Kansas City, Missouri, your claims are governed by Missouri's product liability statute of limitations of 5 years. Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The discovery rule applies, and the clock begins when you knew or should have known of the injury and its cause.

The discovery rule is critical: Many $Kansas City CPAP users only connected their health problems to their recalled device after the June 2021 recall announcement — meaning their statute of limitations clock may have started then, not when health problems first appeared.

How to Proceed as a Kansas City Resident

  2. Gather prescription records, purchase documentation, or VA records showing device use
  3. Collect any medical records related to health conditions that developed during CPAP use
