Wow, how can this have been an oversight? Let’s just blow a bunch of microplastics down everyone’s throats.
Does not even make sense from a business standpoint, if you kill your customers you won’t have customers.
I could just be they breakdown slowly and weren’t picked up by tests.
There are cpap cleaners that use Ozone which breaks down the foam faster than the manufacturer thought possible.
Killing your customers slowly can be extremely profitable, and is preferred to not monetizing the poison at all (tobacco, alcohol, opioids, sugar, fossil fuels).
If this happened after 20 or 30 years it would be considered normal wear and tear, and well beyond the “usable life” of a product in the age of planned obsolescence.
