Description
After more than a year of respirator recalls, it’s probably no surprise that Philips reported lower-than-expected revenues for the third quarter of this year. But that announcement also came with the revelation that the company is now laying off 4,000 workers and planning for even more restructuring. Fierce Medtech's Andrea Park discusses this latest news and digs into the long line of problems that led to this decision.
Philips' downward slide started last June, with the recall of CPAP and BiPAP machines used to treat sleep apnea. As of this July, the FDA tallied 168 related deaths, and as of mid-October there were at least 342 pending class action cases against the company.
