Eligible users and payers can read the article to know the claim process, eligibility, and other necessary details of the Philips CPAP class action settlement.
Philips CPAP Settlement Payout
Philip Respironics first recalled the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices, ventilators, BiPAP, and other devices sold or distributed in the US on 14 June 2021 due to the noise-reducing foam used in the recalled devices.
According to the claims, the recalled devices can harm the users and create health problems. Many plaintiffs have filed complaints against the defendant regarding the health issues and injuries caused due to the recalled devices.
Now, under the class action lawsuit, the company has agreed to a $445 million settlement for recalled devices to resolve economic loss claims, not injury claims. The defendant also agreed to a $34 million settlement for health insurers and another third party who have compensated the users for recalled device replacements.
The court approved the settlement amount in the final hearing of the Philips CPAP class action settlement. The class action members can submit the claim form to receive the settlement payment before the claim deadline of 9 August 2024.
