RE: RECALL THREAD-- IMPORTANT PHILIPS DREAMSTATION & SYSTEM ONE USERS - btreger - 10-12-2022 ABOUT LAWSUITS Streamlined Process for Filing Philips CPAP Lawsuits To Be Established in MDL Through the use of a Master Long Form Complaint and individual Short Form Complaints, individuals will be able to file Philips CPAP lawsuit directly in the MDL court. With tens of thousands of individuals expected to file a Philips CPAP lawsuit in the coming months, the U.S. District Judge presiding over the litigation has asked plaintiffs to file a “Master Complaint”, which will then allow the Court to establish a streamlined process for new claims to be filed in the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL), through an abbreviated “Short Form Complaint” where each plaintiff can adopt certain claims and allegations. Streamlined Process for Filing Philips CPAP Lawsuits To Be Established in MDL - AboutLawsuits.com RE: RECALL THREAD-- IMPORTANT PHILIPS DREAMSTATION & SYSTEM ONE USERS - bigpapa7272 - 10-12-2022 hello All I had 2 machines under the recall a dreamstation auto and a dreamstation go. One was matched to a DME and the other has not yet . I finally got a shipping notice for one today for a box from respironics for 3.35 pounds and its arriving tommorrow Are they replacing machines with the new dreamstation 2 or are they providing refurbished or is it just a roll of the dice? If they send me a 2 to replace my go I guess Im out the money i invested on the battery back when i bought it if so that kinda stinks as it was a $300 battery and the new one is like 400 bucks. Anyone share their recent experience RE: RECALL THREAD-- IMPORTANT PHILIPS DREAMSTATION & SYSTEM ONE USERS - bigpapa7272 - 10-12-2022 (09-22-2022, 01:39 AM)I had received that back in July, it was back and forth I got very agitated with India, the messages they left sounded scammy but were legit. They tried telling me they couldnt verify my prescription because i did the prescription through easy breathe and the doctor that worked for easybreathe didn't have record of me . I told them I had the signed electronic copy. They tried to tell me they wouldn't take my electronically signed pdf prescription that was valid for 99 months from February 2017. I had to get super nasty with them on the phone, pretty much had to threaten to call lawyers, consumer protection agencies like better business bureau, local and national news. I told them that if they didn't I was going to file suit name every customer rep I talked to in the lawsuit and go after them in civil court for civil damages because they were interfering with the replacement of my defective medical device. That must have been the magic phrase because then there was a 30 second pause and then they came back on and said ok email us your prescription and they verified my shipping address and sent me an update email a couple days after that with an estimated date of shipment in November. The key is stay persistent, don't buy into the some of the nonsense they are trying to feed you use words they don't like to hear the words such as lawyers, consumer projection or news stations. They already have enough bad PR out of the recall they are in damage control but are trying to find technicalities to weasel out of it IMO. Document everything! dates times names etc always use email when possible that way there is a trail. good luck on your remediation Wrote: I received an email from Philips. where can I get a new prescription? Because I already forgot which doctor I visit. And my machine was bought from eBay. RE: RECALL THREAD-- IMPORTANT PHILIPS DREAMSTATION & SYSTEM ONE USERS - Mustang 85 - 10-13-2022 I received a telephone call this morning regarding my recalled DS1, and I am wondering if anyone else has received such a phone call. I received a call this morning that was labeled as "Telemarketer" on my phone. The ID says the call came from Merced, CA, phone number (209) 285-0867. The caller identified himself by a single name, which I am unable to recall, and said he was calling in regards to the Philips Respironics recall of my CPAP. He identified the CPAP by reporting the serial number, which started with the letter J, but which I cannot remember all the numbers he gave. I certainly did not remember the serial number of my CPAP machine and did not have it with me (I was at work, and not at home). When I asked him to identify my CPAP machine by the confirmation number that I received when I registered it for the recall (which I have saved on my phone), he could not or would not give me that number. I refused to speak with him unless he would give me the confirmation number. After I insisted on the confirmation number several times, he hung up. The call clearly came from a call center because I could hear a lot of noise from other calls going on behind him. The man spoke with a slight foreign accent, but he was easily understandable. I received a similar telephone call, labeled "Scam Call" around 2 weeks ago which lasted a much shorter period of time, because I hung up on it. I received an email from Philips last week regarding my recall, in which they asked me to provide either my doctors information to get a prescription, or to log my machine onto the DreamMapper App so they could download the data from it. I have not had time yet to respond to that email. Has anyone else received such a telephone call? Is this call legitimate, or is someone trying to scam the victims of recalled CPAP machines? POSSIBLE RECALL PHONE CALLS - WakeUpTime - 10-13-2022 (10-13-2022, 03:05 PM)Mustang 85 Wrote: << above >> If I'm not mistaken, that phone number has been flagged by many users in RoboK... as a "scam" call. It also seems to be part of a bank of residential numbers rather than business numbers. For those concerned about privacy and potential scams, it's a tricky one. I do get several calls each week flagged as "scam" or "fraud" that could be Philips-related. We know that Philips (almost entirely) isn't making calls directly to users, but going through 3rd party contact management and telemarketing agencies. Many of those agency numbers have been historically flagged by many users. I don't buy into the company line "for the sake of your privacy, please give us some of your private details to confirm to us...". I've also had calls and voice mails claiming to be from FedEx for a package. However, the wording of those automated calls (and messages) don't sound authentic and legitimate. I've called FedEx and provided my address afterwards only to hear that they indeed do not have outstanding deliveries for me. I'm still awaiting fixes/replacements for two Philips devices. Given that the Recall database is shared with (at least) 3 companies (Philips, contact management company, telemarketing company) I don't feel that it's extremely secure. I'm not sure if calling Philips would give an accurate delivery update, as the "Philips" recall hotline (not actually Philips) doesn't seem to be providing very accurate delivery dates - unless that's recently changed. RE: RECALL THREAD-- IMPORTANT PHILIPS DREAMSTATION & SYSTEM ONE USERS - bigpapa7272 - 10-13-2022 Well that was disappointing, they sent me some refurbished nonsense I’m not very happy I don’t want someone’s old nasty machine regardless if it’s been cleaned or not. About ready to just give up… PHILIPS REQUESTING SECOND DOCTOR PRESCRIPTION - WakeUpTime - 10-14-2022 It's interesting to get another perspective as I'm assisting a relative with their registration and Recall device administration. They're not that internet active and haven't uploaded any history data or settings in DreamMapper that I know of. Their doctor did send "Philips" (likely a 3rd party) their most recent CPAP prescription several weeks ago. Now, they've been told that the doctor's prescription doesn't meet Philips' specific requirements, specifically stating: Quote:Information that must be provided by Physician to Philips Respironics: I never saw what the doctor actually sent but it was likely a traditional CPAP prescription. It's my guess that the device settings stated weren't as extensive as Philips demands. An incredible process for the fixing of a defective recalled device. RE: RECALL THREAD-- IMPORTANT PHILIPS DREAMSTATION & SYSTEM ONE USERS - SDMatt - 10-17-2022 I just got an email that is likely like on that y 'all have received. Philips wants to dismiss me with a $50 buyback or make me jump through hoops to continue with their sham of a recall. This is so frustrating. Quote:Philips Respironics System One, 60 Series Remediation RE: RECALL THREAD-- IMPORTANT PHILIPS DREAMSTATION & SYSTEM ONE USERS - SuperSleeper - 10-17-2022 Personally, I'm not going to bother jumping through their hoops anymore. I registered my machine with them last year, then logged into their site a few months ago at their suggestion and updated my info/priortization... and that should be enough. They indicated then that this was all I'd have to do. I'm not going to continue jumping through even more of their hoops like a trained dog every time they set up new obstacles and requirements to getting a replacement machine. Starting to think I'll just join in some class action suit, unless I get a replacement soon. RE: RECALL THREAD-- IMPORTANT PHILIPS DREAMSTATION & SYSTEM ONE USERS - eroemer - 10-17-2022 I received an email with the same 2 options--$50 AFTER I ship it to them (no indication who pays for shipping until after I select my option), or get a new prescription and wait for a replacement. This is really BS. |
