Legal Investigation into Inspire Sleep Apnea Implant Injuries
Inspire Sleep Apnea Implants Recalled for Electrical Shocks and Malfunctions
If you have an Inspire sleep apnea implant and experienced painful electrical shocks, inconsistent stimulation, or needed a revision surgery, you are not alone. The product liability attorneys at mctlaw are currently investigating legal claims involving the Inspire Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG), including but not limited to models under an FDA recall.
In June 2024, the FDA issued a Class 1 recall, its most serious type, for two Inspire IPG models: 3028 and 3024. The devices may cause electrical leakage or deliver painful shocks due to a manufacturing defect. But reports from patients suggest that problems may go beyond just the recalled models.
Alleged Electrical Shock Injuries from Inspire Sleep Apnea Implants
Some patients describe these serious complications:
- Painful or unexpected shocks to the tongue or throat
- Stimulation that feels too strong or not strong enough
- Trouble sleeping due to jolts from the implant
- A complete stop in therapy due to battery failure
- Frustration after doctors or company reps said the device was “working normally”
Even if your Inspire model was not recalled, we want to hear from you. Our attorneys are investigating all cases involving electrical stimulation problems or device failures, not just the ones covered by the FDA.
Do You Qualify for an Inspire Sleep Apnea Lawsuit?
We are currently reviewing legal claims for people who meet of the following criteria:
- The Inspire IPG was removed or revised due to problems or because of the recall
- You still have the Inspire device implanted but are getting medical care for symptoms like shocks or pain
- You turned off the device because your problems were not addressed.
- You had revision surgery recommended (even if it hasn’t happened yet).
You do not need to have a recalled model to qualify. We are looking into all cases involving painful electrical stimulation or dangerous device behavior.

What Is the Inspire Sleep Apnea Implant?
Doctors surgically implant this device to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition that causes repeated breathing interruptions during sleep. OSA happens when soft tissue in the throat collapses, partially blocking the airway with the tongue.
The Inspire implant sends electrical pulses to airway muscles, moving the tongue out of the way so users can breathe. Doctors place the device near the collarbone during surgery. This treatment is meant for patients who haven’t had success with CPAP machines.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
