Philips, responsible for a global recall of sleep apnea machines due to defective foam, has been ordered to overhaul its manufacturing and quality control systems by federal officials. The company must also continue to replace, repair, or provide refunds to all U.S. customers affected by the faulty devices. The settlement aims to address one of the biggest medical device recalls in history, which has been ongoing for nearly three years, and requires Philips to hire independent experts to vet the changes and meet safety requirements before resuming production at U.S. facilities.
