CPAP devices exposed patients to foam particles, noxious gases.

"In a letter to Philips in May 2022, the F.D.A. noted that the company had received reports about the problem as early as 2015, but failed to evaluate the information and address the device’s problems."
"The F.D.A. reported earlier this year that since Philips first warned of the problems, officials had received 116,000 complaints, including 561 reports of deaths, that people or lawyers said were linked to the faulty foam in the device."
I'm still pretty salty about this, it took Philips over 2 years to provide a (much) cheaper replacement.
