I hope the victims are going to hire John Barylick for their lawsuits against Philips. Barylick knows his way around cheap PU foam that emits toxic particles in lethal doses. He helped the victims of the 2003 Station Nightclub fire, where 100 people died, mainly due to a toxic combination of PU and PE foam that was used for soundproofing. [1] Watch his talk [2] if you feel you can stomach the horrendous details. It includes an excerpt from a bootleg digital sound recording made during the disaster. (The digital tape was later found amidst the ashes, next to the body of one of the victims, and fully restored.)

I do honestly wonder what the next step is for folks like me who are affected by this. Does Philips pay my future medical bills if I get sick? Or do I just get a "we're sorry"?

  Lawyer up. Anything else would be an unfair match. They have a legal team after all.

    As a normal individual, I doubt I could afford a lawyer that would be a match for them.

  See a pulmonologist and let them know you’ve been potentially inhaling micro-foam from this device, see if you can document your lung progression from healthy to diseased if that foam dust is just sitting in the lungs.

    Genuine thanks, I'll look into scheduling this!

      Yeah make sure you share the FDA link with them so they take you seriously and don’t think you are a hypochondriac or psychosomatic. Get the lung X-rays and copy of scans (whatever imaging they recommend) and save it in the cloud and in a safe. This evidence can pay off big time if, god forbid, you have lung damage taking years off your life, but look up statute of limitations and talk to a bunch of personal injury lawyers for product liability cases, etc. Good luck and I’ll be checking in on my folks that have a machine as well to do the same.
