Paris judge investigates Philips over defective sleep apnea respirators

lalibre.be (French)

A Paris judge has opened an investigation into aggravated deception concerning Philips' defective sleep apnea respirators. The investigation follows 104 complaints from individuals and two from associations, alongside a 2023 report from the French health safety agency. The probe focuses on deception endangering health, failure to report fatal incidents, and non-compliant devices. Philips recalled millions of devices globally in 2021 due to concerns about toxic foam particles, though the company later stated no dangerous substances were found.
