Philips announced resolution of the US economic-loss class litigation in MDL 3014 (Sept 7, 2023 press release): predefined cash awards by device type, extended warranties, and a return bonus; Philips' release cites a EUR 575 million Q1 2023 provision and explicitly excludes personal injury and medical monitoring claims.
