Philips CPAP Machines “Can Spew Carcinogenic Foam”
January 31st, 2024Via: Daily Mail:
Medical device manufacturer Philips will halt all sales of its sleep apnea machines amid fears about the devices’ links to cancer.
In 2021, the company’s CPAP machines, used to treat the sleeping disorder, were found to be blowing gas and foam into users’ airways as they slept, putting them at increased risk of tumors.
The discovery led to the company recalling more than 5million machines, but attempts to repair and replace affected machines has been dragging on for years.
Now, the FDA and Justice Department have forced Philips to halt all new sales until they address the problem with the old devices.
