Sleep is an integral part of everyone’s life. It refreshes the body and helps us to be productive. Unfortunately, getting quality sleep can be difficult for many people. This problem affects most of the global population - It can be a harmless problem for one person and a severe health condition for another.

Sleep apnea is one of the most common problems today. It interferes with a person’s sleeping pattern and interrupts breathing during sleep. People who suffer from this disorder use Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines to treat obstructive sleep apnea.

Sadly, some manufacturers of CPAP machines sold defective Respironics that causes chronic respiratory illnesses and kidney problems, including lung cancer, asthma, and other organ dysfunctions.

Philips - medical equipment manufacturer - is facing mass tort lawsuits following the announcement last June 14, 2021, that it recalled about 2 million machines used by obstructive sleep apnea patients in the US.

In a recent recall announcement, Philips warned that the foam used in its machines for noise reduction could break down and be ingested by users, causing severe and even life-threatening health conditions.
