Recalls
Searchable archive of product recalls from the FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, NHTSA, and EPA — translated into plain English, severity-scored from objective criteria, and always linked back to the original government notice.
Every recall on this list has been scored 1–5 against an objective rubric from the agency’s own classification, presence of reported injuries or deaths, distribution scope, and hazard type. The colored severity badge on each card is the score — 5 (Critical) means deaths or serious injuries are reported, 4 (Severe) means significant injury or hospitalization risk, and 3 (High) means a known hazard with no confirmed harm yet. Filter to 3+ (High and above) if you want to skip routine Class-III notices.
The agency chips above control which streams are visible. FDA spans food, drugs, and medical devices. USDA FSIS is meat, poultry, and processed egg products. CPSC is household consumer products. NHTSA is vehicles, tires, and child seats. Nationwide on a card means the recall affects every US state — most do — while a state list means distribution was limited.

Minimum severity
Beyond Laser Systems is recalling laser light show projectors for missing safety interlocks and required labels. Affected models lack the remote interlock connector needed to prevent user exposure to Class IV laser radiation.
ICU Medical is recalling SwabCap Disinfecting Caps due to a manufacturing defect that may prevent proper disinfection of needlefree connectors. The incomplete seal may cause isopropyl alcohol to evaporate, reducing effectiveness.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics recalls VITROS Chemistry CHE Slides due to quality control drift occurring 2-7 days after reagent reconstitution, despite labels claiming 7-day stability. This may result in inaccurate and erroneous patient test results.
Microbiologics Inc is recalling KWIK-STIK and LYFO DISK quality control kits because they contain the wrong organism, which could cause laboratory quality control to fail and delay patient diagnosis.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics recalls VITROS Chemistry CHE Slides due to quality control drift in certain lots that may produce inaccurate test results when used within the labeled stability period.
Beyond Laser Systems is recalling laser light show projectors with missing or non-functional remote safety interlocks that prevent safe shutdown of Class IV lasers. Projectors also lack required labeling and user documentation.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics recalled certain lots of VITROS Chemistry Performance Verifier because quality control drift can cause inaccurate lab test results when used 2-7 days after reconstitution.
NeuroSync recalled 27 EYE-SYNC eye-tracking headset units in New York, Texas, and Georgia because the devices became inoperable after support for the embedded Pico 2 platform ended August 31, 2023, and cannot be repaired.
Edwards Lifesciences is recalling Optisite Arterial Cannula units due to wire sections 3-4mm in length protruding from the cannula body, posing a patient injury risk.
Given Imaging's Bravo CF capsule delivery device is recalled due to misapplied adhesive that may prevent the pH monitoring capsule from attaching to the esophagus or detaching from the delivery device. The recall affects 128,202 units distributed nationwide and globally.
The Hillrom Q-Link 13 quick-release hook component used in mobile patient lifts may improperly latch, potentially causing it to detach and result in patient falls.
Edwards Lifesciences recalls the FEM-FLEX II Femoral Arterial Cannula due to exposed wire protruding from the device body that could cause vascular injury.
Edwards Lifesciences is recalling the FEMFLEXII Femoral Arterial Cannula due to complaints of a 3mm to 4mm section of wire protruding from the cannula body, posing a risk of injury.
Hillrom LikoScale adapter kits for patient lifts have false-latching defects in the Quick-Release Hook that can cause improper attachment and unexpected detachment, risking patient falls.
Edwards Lifesciences is recalling OptiSite Arterial Cannulas (Model OPTI18) due to exposed wire protruding from the device body. Approximately 13,240 units distributed worldwide are affected.
Edwards Lifesciences is recalling FEM-FLEX II Femoral Arterial Cannula devices due to exposed or protruding wire sections on the cannula body. Approximately 6,801 units were distributed worldwide.
Edwards Lifesciences is recalling the FEM-FLEX II Femoral Arterial Cannula due to exposed wire segments protruding from the device body. The defect poses a mechanical hazard during arterial perfusion procedures.
Medtronic is recalling 3 units of the O-arm O2 Imaging System (mobile X-ray equipment) in IN, MN, and MS due to potential damage to a mechanical component supporting the gantry during manufacturing.
Certain Infinia nuclear medicine systems may experience unintended detector motion during patient setup or scanning if the gantry software is not up to date, potentially causing serious injury.
Preat Corp is recalling Astra EV-compatible 4.2mm Digital Analog devices due to a manufacturing error that misaligns the rotational feature by 180 degrees. Affected units were distributed nationwide to nine states.
GE's Varicam, Millennium VG, and Discovery VH nuclear medicine imaging systems may experience unintended detector motion during patient setup or scanning if the gantry software is not the correct version, potentially causing life-threatening injury.
Boston Scientific is recalling VersaCross Access Solution guide wires due to potential holes in the sterile barrier pouch that may compromise device sterility and could lead to systemic infection.
Alcon Laboratories is recalling specific lots of Constellation Vision System Vitrectomy Procedure Paks due to potential manufacturing damage to the lidding that could compromise sterility.
Alcon Laboratories is recalling certain Constellation Vision System Combined Procedure Paks (89,495 units) due to potential damage to the lidding that may compromise sterility. Affected products were distributed worldwide.
Boston Scientific is recalling Torflex Transseptal Guiding Sheath Kits due to potential holes in the sterile barrier pouch that may compromise device sterility. The defect could lead to systemic infection and sepsis.
