This comes after numerous complaints from patients who reported health concerns linked to the foam used in these machines. The settlement aims to provide compensation to affected customers and address the safety issues that have raised alarm among both users and regulators.<\/p>\n<p>The defective foam, which was intended to reduce noise during operation, was found to degrade and potentially release harmful chemicals.

As a result, Philips initiated a recall of millions of units, which has left many patients searching for alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Philips, a well-known name in sleep technology, has faced scrutiny for its handling of the situation.
