10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Once again profit was more important than the health and safety of common people. And i am quite sure that none of the responsible parties will see jail time over this, because they never do.
I will scream it till the day I die, profit motive and healthcare do not belong together. At all. In any way, shape, or form.
The worst part is that it took them years after it came out to be a known risk before they actually sent me a replacement machine.
Having to choose between the risk of heart failure and the risk of cancer sure was fun...
Instead of making you wait, they should have been forced to shell out to get you a new machine from another company. Well, Resmed. All of us who use CPAPs know that Phillips and Resmed machines are far and away better than any other machine out there. Which sucks for us users.
Where did France hide those guillotines again?
Phillips, the pride of the Netherlands. Long time ago.
People suffered because of this, people died.
They should investigate what execs and managers knew about this and failed to act within a month and send them to jail for a year for each month they failed to act.
Any time a company decides to go for profit over human suffering and casualties, execs and managers should be jailed. It's the only thing that will stop these practices.
This is genuinely huge and is negligent homicide at the very least. We need multinational lawsuits to deal with multinational crimes like this.
Knowingly using a material that degrades with heat and humidity and can cause cancer in the manufacture of a heating humidifying healthcare device, and then ignoring all reports for years is diabolical stuff.
It’s worse than that. My buddy had one and on a fixed income, had to scrabble and scrimp to pay for a replacement. I just sent him the article and said I hope he sues them.
