"FDA Reports Over 500 Deaths Tied to Recalled Philips Sleep Apnea Machines"

The FDA has linked at least 561 reported deaths to Philips sleep apnea machines, prompting a recall affecting millions of devices due to serious health hazards caused by the breakdown of polyester-based polyurethane foam. Philips has agreed to stop selling these devices in the U.S. and is in the process of a proposed class action settlement, offering compensation to affected users. Eligible individuals can submit a claim for compensation via the settlement website, with important deadlines to keep in mind for participation.
