Good forum etiquette calls for a brief summary of the key contents of links posted: True dat: huffing plastic particles and toxic compounds is bad for your health as per philips. hence the millions of machines being recalled. (People - listen to the experts not the hacks posting on this forum. the ...

So far, no unwanted health effects have been reported. Absolutely none at all. Except perhaps for the emotional distress felt by innumerable P/R owners. :twisted: They will probably be getting mail from ambulance-chasing lawyers, very soon. Please remain calm. Do not respond to the shysters. Contin...

I don't understand the rampant speculation. We don't know what Philips knew, when they knew it, or the data on which they based their decision. It will come out, likely because of lawsuits. its just a flesh wound. To date, Philips Respironics has received several complaints regarding the presence o...

Seems interesting that Phillips is announcing the recall just as a new machine come out that isn’t affected CEO Frans van Houten said Philips is the largest maker of such machines, and between three and four million affected sleep apnea machines and ventilators would be recalled. "We're going to pu...

If we were to go into panic mode about any foam in any machine....unwarranted panic for sure. If I had a Philips machine, I would keep merrily using it until they decided to replace it. This panic is for chemophobes and lawyers. 100s of FDA adverse event reports a day and they kept on merrily shipp...

Maybe they are cheaper to build than anyone suspected.
