Indiana Philips CPAP Recall Settlement Guide

Updated April 2026

Quick Answer: Can Indiana Residents Still Review a Philips CPAP Claim?

Yes, but timing depends on the track and your records. Indiana claims are generally evaluated against a 2-year limitations framework, while settlement eligibility also depends on proof of recalled device ownership, use history, diagnosis records for injury claims, and when you connected the recall to your losses.

Start with device records, DME supplier or VA documentation, medical records, and any prior settlement correspondence. Then compare those records with the economic loss and personal injury tracks below.

The Dual-Track Settlement and Indiana Residents

If you used a recalled Philips CPAP or BiPAP device and live in Indiana, you may be eligible for both settlement tracks:

  • Economic Loss Track ($445M): For owning a recalled device. Available regardless of whether you experienced health problems. Your device is now worthless or diminished in value — that's compensable.
  • Personal Injury Track ($1.1B): For Indiana residents who developed health conditions — cancer, respiratory damage, or other conditions — from foam particle and chemical exposure during CPAP use.

The Discovery Rule in Indiana

Indiana generally uses an occurrence-based rule for product liability, which means the statute of limitations clock may have started when the injury occurred rather than when you discovered the cause. This makes early consultation with an attorney especially important for Indiana residents — your deadline may be earlier than you think.

Frequently Asked Questions — Indiana

How long do I have to file a Philips CPAP recall claim in Indiana?
Indiana product liability claims are generally evaluated under a 2-year limitations framework. However, the discovery rule is critical — for many CPAP users, the clock may have started in June 2021 when Philips announced the recall, or when you first connected your health problems to your CPAP device. Consult an attorney to confirm your specific deadline.
Does Indiana use a discovery rule for CPAP recall claims?
Indiana generally follows a occurrence framework. Because Indiana generally uses an occurrence-based rule, the clock may start from when the injury occurred. However, exceptions for latent injuries may apply. Consulting an attorney promptly is especially important in Indiana.
What documentation do I need for a CPAP recall claim in Indiana?
For the Economic Loss track: CPAP prescription records, purchase receipts or insurance EOB, DME supplier records, or VA records (for veterans). For the Personal Injury track: medical records documenting your diagnosis and approximate onset date, records showing CPAP use duration, and ideally documentation connecting your health condition to recalled device use. An attorney can advise on what records are needed for your specific situation.
Can I file a Philips CPAP claim if I live in Indiana but used the device while living in another state?
Potentially yes. Jurisdiction can be based on your current residence, where the injury occurred, or where you received the device. Many Philips CPAP cases are in MDL 3014 in the Western District of Pennsylvania, but Indiana state law may still govern certain aspects. Consult an attorney about the proper venue for your claim.
Is there any cost to file a Philips CPAP claim in Indiana?
No upfront cost. Attorneys handling Philips CPAP recall cases work on contingency — they are only paid if you receive compensation. The initial eligibility check and case evaluation are free and confidential.
