The voluntary recall announcement issued in June 2021 is a follow-up to a previous notification from April 2021. The recall involves millions of sleep apnea and ventilator devices which may increase the risk of lung injury and cancer due to inhalation foam particles and outgassing of toxic chemicals. Philips estimates that 3 to 4 million devices may be affected, the majority of which are first-generation DreamStation products sold before April 2021.
