Phillips Recalls Millions of CPAP Machines and Ventilators

Phillips is recalling millions of sleep apnea machines and ventilators as they pose a serious health risk and they have advised consumers to stop using them immediately. A foam piece used in devices can degrade and release potentially toxic fumes into the patients. Some of the devices and ventilators being recalled are used for treating coronavirus patients.

The exposure to foam particles could cause headache, irritation, inflammation, respiratory issues, and possible toxic and carcinogenic effects, Philips said. The company will replace the current sound abatement foam with a new material and has already begun the preparations, which include obtaining the relevant regulatory clearances. Philips aims to address all affected devices in scope of this correction as expeditiously as possible.

The devices being recalled are Bi-Level PAP, CPAP and mechanical ventilator devices which are primarily first-generation DreamStation products.

If you or a loved one has suffered from a lung issue and/or lung cancer caused by a Phillips CPAP Machine and/or Ventilator, please call the experts at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.

Covidien and Ethicon Surgical Staplers Litigation

Today’s surgeons rely more on surgical staplers as an alternative to stitches and sutures due to the increased speed and ease of use provided by the devices. Ethicon and Covidien Surgical Staplers can misfire during a surgery and cause serious injuries.  Thousands of surgery patients have reported serious injuries regarding the surgical staplers during gastrointestinal tract surgeries such as: colon cancer, diverticuli and weight loss surgeries to link sections between body parts such as the intestines and stomach.  Misfiring of the device may lead to incomplete staple lines and malformed staples.

Due to the frequency of the misfires, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class 1 recall and reported the following risks associated with the defective staplers: 

  • Bleeding
  • Tearing of organs and internal tissue
  • Development of anastomotic leaks
  • Sepsis 
  • Increased risk of cancer recurrence
  • Multi-organ failure
  • Fistula formation 

As a result of these injuries, patients may require additional surgeries, including an ostomy bag (an external pouch to collect body waste).  Many times, patients are forced to return to the operating room for an unplanned, emergency repair surgery.  Other patients may be released from the hospital only to return a few days later once symptoms arise for emergency surgery.

Who are the manufacturers of Covidien and Ethicon Surgical Staplers? Covidien is a subsidiary of Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) which has a market cap of $152 billion.  Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is a parent company of Ethicon boasting a market cap of $384 billion.

Numerous lawsuits have been filed on behalf of patients hurt by the malfunctioning staplers.  Some of the lawsuits have gone to trial and led to sizable verdicts against the defendants.  The most prominent among them was a California case that ended up with the plaintiff being awarded $80 million, including $70 million in punitive damages against Ethicon.

If you or a loved one has been harmed by defective Ethicon or Covidien Surgical Staplers, please call the Mass Tort Team at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.

Paraquat Herbicide May Cause Parkinson’s Disease

Paraquat is a highly toxic herbicide that has been used for a variety of farming and agricultural applications in the United States since 1964. The product is registered for use on row crops to vegetables and trees, and on non-farm areas, including airports, industrial sites and commercial buildings.

The EPA has stated, “Paraquat is highly toxic.” A single sip of Paraquat can kill a person. If it is accidentally inhaled or spills on a person’s skin during application it may cause seizures, heart failure and lung scarring.

Research has shown that Paraquat may be linked to Parkinson’s disease, a progressive nervous system disorder that can lead to uncontrollable shakiness, stiffness and the general deterioration of motor-function abilities. There is no known cure for Parkinson’s disease.

Paraquat has been banned in more than 60 countries worldwide but there has been no such ban in the United States.  

Law firms have begun filing lawsuits against the makers and distributors of Paraquat and are accepting cases where the person has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and:

  • Was a pesticide applicator or has a restricted use license;
  • Worked for a pesticide applicator or company/person that had a restricted use license;
  • Was a Herbicide mixer;
  • Transferred Paraquat into application equipment;
  • Worked at a plant or company that manufactured or distributed Paraquat, or
  • Worked as a farmer, farmhand, or another type of worker in areas where Paraquat was used.

If you or a loved one have been exposed to the chemical herbicide Paraquat and have subsequently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, please call the experts at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.

Crock Pot Pressure Cookers Recalled after 99 People Suffer Burn Injuries

Sunbeam Products recalled about 943,000 Crock-Pot Express Pressure Cookers after reports that 99 people suffered from burn injuries ranging from 1st-degree to 3rd-degree burns.

There were over 119 reports of the lid detaching according to Sunbeam Products who issued this statement:

The recalled Crock-Pot multi-cooker can pressurize when the lid is not fully locked.  This can cause the lid to suddenly detach while the product is in use, posing burn risks to consumers from hot food and liquids ejected from the product.”

The recall includes Crock-Pot® 6-Quart Express Multi-Cookers (Model Number SCCPPC600-V1) which can be found printed on the bottom of the Crock-Pot.

The Crock-Pots were sold from July of 2017 through November of 2020, at Walmart, Target and other online retailers for $70-$100.

If you or a loved one have suffered burn injuries involving a Crock-Pot® 6-Quart Express Multi-Cooker, please call the experts at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.
