Philips has been at the center of a legal battle following the recall of millions of CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator devices due to toxic foam degradation. The inhalation of foam particles, which may release harmful chemicals, has been linked to severe health conditions, including cancer, lung cancer, and other respiratory illnesses. Questions like “Can a CPAP machine cause cancer?” or “Can CPAP cause lung cancer?” reflect growing public concern, driving thousands of lawsuits against the company.

Philips recently agreed to a $1.1 billion settlement to address personal injury claims, with payouts expected hopefully in 2025. This settlement is separate from a $479 million class-action settlement for economic losses. Compensation amounts will depend on the severity of injuries, with cases involving lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and pulmonary conditions likely to see the highest awards but this remains to be seen.
