Were You a North Philadelphia 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 North Philadelphia, 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 North Philadelphia Residents
As a resident of North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, your claims are governed by Pennsylvania's product liability statute of limitations of 2 years. Pennsylvania has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The MDL 3014 (Philips CPAP recall litigation) is consolidated in the Western District of Pennsylvania. Discovery rule applies for latent injuries.
The discovery rule is critical: Many $North Philadelphia 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.
