Recall: Philips Breathing Devices for Health Risks

Dutch-based medical equipment maker Philips is recalling CPAP machines, ventilators, and other breathing devices because of concerns that sound-reducing foam on the devices can degrade and be inhaled by the users, causing possible health risks, including cancer, the company said in a news release.
Philips CEO Frans van Houten said between 3 million and 4 million would be recalled, according to Reuters.
