TL;DR

Philips is halting sales of its sleep apnea machines due to concerns about potential cancer risks associated with the devices. The company had previously recalled over 5 million CPAP machines in 2021 after discovering that they were blowing gas and foam into users' airways, increasing the risk of tumors. The FDA and Justice Department have forced Philips to stop new sales until the issue is addressed.
