The FDA is preventing Philips from selling any sleep apnea devices in the US for a few years until some unspecified manufacturing quality control problem is fixed. This is interesting because the new devices don’t use the same foam and don’t have this defect. I’m unsure if this ban affects ventilators which were also affected by the foam defect. Still, according to the ProPublica reporting Philips already made bank the last few years. They’re also trying to limit damages by putting all blame on the US subsidiary.

Unspecified? What the fuck. There is no reason Phillips should enjoy any sort confidentiality here. Not before, and especially not now.
