Philips stops selling sleep apnea machines in US following mass recalls


It will keep selling them outside of the US, however.

Philips is halting sales of its recalled sleep apnea machines in the US after finding they were pumping foam particles into users’ airways. In its earnings report on Monday, the company says it will not sell new CPAP or BiPAP devices in the US until it meets the requirements outlined by the Food and Drug Administration. Last year, ProPublica and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette found that Philips received complaints about the machines as early as 2010 but withheld customer concerns from the FDA.
