This really sucks.
The foam disintegrated in humidity but a CPAP uses water to humidify the air that's pumping, right?
Not to mention
Not only was the foam dysfunctional, the material was fucking carcinogenic.
That's correct, but a lot of foams and soft plastics are also inherently unstable under normal conditions. Many consumer products have foams or soft rubbery exteriors that will quickly breakdown in a matter of years. These products should just be banned, they just contribute to landfill waste and planned obsolescence.
