Seattle CPAP Recall Settlement — Check Your Settlement Eligibility

Updated April 2026

Were You a Seattle 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 Seattle, 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 Seattle Residents

As a resident of Seattle, Washington, your claims are governed by Washington's product liability statute of limitations of 3 years. Washington has a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The discovery rule applies for latent CPAP-related injuries, including those discovered after the June 2021 Philips recall.

The discovery rule is critical: Many $Seattle 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 Seattle Resident

1. Verify your Philips device is on the recalled devices list
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
