Seg\u00fan medios de comunicaci\u00f3n<\/a>, this past month millions of Phillips Respironics masks used with sleep apnea machines were recalled due to safety concerns. Phillips is currently recalling over 17 million masks due to concerns that magnets in the masks could affect some patients with implanted medical devices.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not linked any deaths to the recall, the FDA believes fatal outcomes are possible. As of August 30, Phillips had received 14 reports of injury due to the masks. According to the FDA, the magnets in the masks have affected implanted devices, such as brain stents, aneurysm clips, and pacemakers. Victims of the recall report experiencing symptoms of arrhythmia, seizures, and irregular blood pressure.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Phillips Respironics continues to recall unsafe masks and the FDA warns those with implanted metallic devices to not use their masks. The FDA has also warned those using the masks to avoid even being near another person with implanted metallic devices.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Like this recall, many companies recall a dangerous product after complaints of injury have already been made. If you believe that you or someone you know has been harmed by an unsafe product, it\u2019s important to know what steps to take next.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
