RECOURS COLLECTIF CONTRE PHILIPS CPAP
Action contre Philips pour avoir prétendument vendu des appareils de thérapie respiratoire et de sommeil pouvant causer des cancers et des dommages respiratoires.
John Morel c. Koninklijke Philips N.V., Philips Electronics Ltd. et Respironics Inc., SCBC No. S216008, Registre de Vancouver
Rice Harbut Elliott, Thomson Rogers et Sotos Class Actions ont déposé des demandes pour un recours collectif canadien proposé concernant les appareils d’apnée du sommeil et les ventilateurs. Des millions d’appareils fabriqués, commercialisés et vendus par Philips et/ou des sociétés liées font l’objet d’un rappel en raison de préoccupations identifiées par la société selon lesquelles la mousse utilisée dans les appareils pourrait causer de graves problèmes de santé, y compris le cancer. Les appareils ont été rappelés par Philips aux États-Unis le 14 juin 2021 et par Santé Canada le 23 juin. Le rappel de Santé Canada peut être consulté ici.
Les détails du recours collectif
La réclamation concerne les appareils de sommeil et de soins respiratoires fabriqués, commercialisés et vendus par les défenderesses, en particulier les appareils à pression positive continue (CPAP), à pression positive à deux niveaux (BIPAP) et les ventilateurs mécaniques de marque Philips Respironics. Les appareils sont fabriqués avec une mousse insonorisante en polyuréthane à base de polyester (PE-PUR), qui se dégrade avec le temps et dans certaines conditions en particules toxiques qui peuvent être inhalées ou ingérées par l’utilisateur. Ces particules toxiques peuvent causer le cancer, des dommages ou des irritations respiratoires, des inflammations, des irritations, des nausées/vomissements, une hypersensibilité et/ou des maux de tête.
Veuillez consulter l’avis de plainte civile pour plus de détail.
