Senator Calls for DOJ Action Against Philips for Keeping CPAP Machine Complaints Secret

[D.H.]

Since this is a call on DOJ (not congress), it could happen despite congressional disarray.

In any case, I can't see Philips surviving long-term as a supplier of medical devices after this debacle.

Good for Blumenthal and good for everyone that wants answers.

Good to see someone * working despite the dysfunction.

Bloomy seeks out cameras esp at election time.

I once heard him speak for 45 min w/o saying a thing.
A gifted politician.

“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. “And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support.”

There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.

I don't see them pulling it off either to be honest. Which would be fine by me. Unless some MAJOR changes are made at the company.

Barring that I'll never buy an "anything" made by Philips ever again.
