The answer to this question varies depending on the specific class action settlement. Carefully review the claim filing instructions to determine whether proof of purchase is necessary when submitting your claim form.

Certain class action settlements specifically require certain forms of proof from claimants, such as a store receipt, product packaging, or another court-approved document, to support your claim for an award. However, many other settlements do not require proof of purchase for participation.

In some settlements, you may have the option to choose whether to include proof of purchase with your claim form. Typically, class members who furnish proof of purchase are eligible for a higher payout compared to those who do not provide evidence of their product or service acquisition.

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.

People want to know what a CPAP per person settlement check might be. That is tricky to estimate in any litigation even after settlement. There are so many different types of injuries and we do not have numbers yet.  But here, our lawyers discuss this and give you a lens to our thinking of how these payouts could play out when there is a CPAP settlement points system.

Data breaches have increasingly become one of the most alarming threats to both individuals and organizations, posing significant risks to privacy, security, and financial well-being. Sensitive personal and health information, including Social Security numbers, medical records, financial data, and login credentials, is often stored electronically, making it a prime target for hackers and cybercriminals. These cyberattacks lead to identity theft, fraudulent transactions,  unauthorized access to confidential systems,  and a whole host of other problems that come with devastating consequences for victims.
High-profile cases, such as healthcare data breaches and ransomware attacks on large corporations, are getting more common. Our defenses are not keeping up with the vulnerability of electronic records and the growing sophistication of cybercriminals.

Whether targeting small businesses, major institutions, or individuals, these breaches underscore the critical importance of robust cybersecurity measures and immediate legal recourse for those affected. Protecting personal and medical information from cyberattacks has never been more crucial, as data breaches continue to grow in scale and impact.
