Philips Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Health Risks of DreamStation CPAP Machines

In February 2023, a Kentucky man was diagnosed with breast and bone cancer after using a DreamStation CPAP machine for six years.

A recent lawsuit claims that Philips, the manufacturer, knew about the risks associated with the foam used in the machine, which could degrade and release toxic particles that users might inhale, leading to severe health issues. The plaintiff alleges significant physical and emotional distress, including invasive cancer treatments and their aftereffects, due to these defects.
