    I’m shocked… JK I’m not. I’ll keep saying it over and over. Time to start locking some executives up. Fines aren’t going to cut it and this will continue to happen until some asses wind up in prison.

      They do magnitudes more damage than some petty criminal, but face zero consequences. It’s maddening.

    Makes me worried about my resmed CPAP. No weird foam chunks have come out of it, but still…

      ResMed does use foam in their CPAPs for sound reduction. However, when the Philips recall happened, they released a statement saying it was not the “polyester based polyurethane foam” that Philips used. That being said, in the ResMed Airsense 10, the foam is easy to remove if you’re worried.
