San Diego CPAP Recall Settlement — Check Your Settlement Eligibility

Updated April 2026

Were You a San Diego 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 San Diego, 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 San Diego Residents

As a resident of San Diego, California, your claims are governed by California's product liability statute of limitations of 2 years. California has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The discovery rule starts the clock when you discovered or reasonably should have discovered the injury and its cause — which for many CPAP users was June 2021 or later.

The discovery rule is critical: Many $San Diego 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.
