KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS NV reached a preliminary agreement with the United States Department of Justice to end investigations linked to its 2021 global device recall, booking a €288 million provision. The settlement addresses probes into sleep and respiratory-care devices recalled over degraded sound-reducing foam. The resolution removes a major regulatory overhang for the Netherlands-based healthcare technology manufacturer.
