FDA says Philips issued a 6/14 recall notification to mitigate potential health risks related to the sound abatement foam in its bi-level positive airway pressure, continuous positive airway pressure, and mechanical ventilator devices. An agency [notice](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/philips-issues-recall-notification-mitigate-potential-health-risks-related-sound-abatement-foam?utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) says company testing determined there are possible risks to users related to the PE-PUR sound abatement foam used in the products.

“The risks include that the PE-PUR foam may degrade into particles which may enter the device’s air pathway and be ingested or inhaled by the user, and the foam may off-gas certain chemicals,” the notice says.

Philips says the issue had a 0.03% complaint rate in 2020 and it has received no reports of deaths as a result of the issue.
