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
Convergent Dental is recalling 39 Solea laser surgical instruments due to potential unintended laser activation without foot pedal depression. No injuries have been reported.
SunMed's Ventlab V-Care manual resuscitators are being recalled due to a backwards leak in the integrated manometer that allows CO2 rebreathing. Affected devices were distributed nationwide.
The ORION System robotic arm used in radiation therapy may suddenly accelerate or move unexpectedly when motion resumes after an interruption, creating a risk of collision with stationary equipment.
The FDA recalls ORION robotic positioning arms used in radiation and radiology due to sudden acceleration or unintended movement that could cause patient collision with treatment room equipment. No injuries reported.
Aizu Olympus is recalling 61 tracheal videoscopes (Model LF-V) due to an unvalidated air drying process that left water in channels after repair. Water in the endoscope channels may become contaminated and pose an infection risk.
Biomet is recalling Compress Device Segmental Anchor Plugs due to metal burrs in transverse holes that may prevent proper device function during surgery. The defect could result in extended surgical time.
SunMed Holdings recalls RescuMed manual resuscitators due to a backwards leak in the manometer allowing CO2 rebreathing. Affected models distributed nationwide across 32 US states.
Aizu Olympus is recalling ultrasonic gastrovideoscopes due to an unvalidated channel drying process that left some scopes with water in the channels after repair. Water remaining in the device poses a risk of contamination and infection.
Aizu Olympus is recalling certain colonoscope models because the channel air drying process was not validated. A small percentage of repaired units had water remaining in the channel, which could lead to infection risk.
BioFire FilmArray TORCH diagnostic devices have a power switch that may degrade from internal arcing and carbon buildup, potentially causing electrical short, device overheating, or failure to power on.
Biomet is recalling the Compress Device Short Anchor Plug due to metal burrs in transverse holes that may prevent proper insertion of drill or pins, potentially extending surgical time. No injuries have been reported.
Sentinel CH SpA is recalling IRON assay kits (Reference Numbers 6K95-41 and 6K95-30) that may produce falsely elevated results. Affected lots could cause inaccurate iron measurements and delays in patient test reporting.
Aizu Olympus is recalling cystonephroscope endoscopes due to an unvalidated air drying process that allowed water to remain in instrument channels. Retained moisture poses a risk of contamination and infection.
Medline manual resuscitators are recalled due to a backwards leak in the integrated manometer that allows CO2 rebreathing. The defect affects multiple models used in respiratory care distributed nationwide.
Biomet's Compress Device Segmental Anchor Plugs are being recalled due to metal burrs in assembly holes. The defect prevents drill pins from passing through, potentially extending surgical time during implantation procedures.
Aizu Olympus is recalling the Transnasal Esophagovideoscope (Model PEF-V) because the channel air drying process was not validated, resulting in some units with wet channels that could cause infection.
Aizu Olympus has recalled 33 Mobile Airway Scope units due to an unvalidated air drying process. Some repaired units had wet channels, creating a potential risk of contamination and infection.
Biomet's Compress Device Short Anchor Plugs may contain metal burrs in the transverse holes, which can prevent proper insertion of surgical tools and extend surgery time. The affected devices are distributed nationwide and internationally.
Philips is recalling Achieva 1.5T MRI systems because the gradient coil component could fail and produce smoke or fire. The recall affects 2 units distributed worldwide.
Aizu Olympus is recalling small intestinal videoscopes (Model SIF-Q180) because the channel air drying process was not properly validated. Water remaining in the channels could cause contamination and infection risk.
Aizu Olympus recalls 680 gastroscope-EUS devices due to unvalidated channel drying. Water remaining in the channels poses contamination and infection risks.
Biomet is recalling Compress Device Short Anchor Plugs (23 MM) due to potential metal burrs in transverse holes that may prevent proper insertion of surgical instruments, potentially extending surgery time. Distribution includes US and multiple international countries.
Biomet is recalling Compress Device Short Anchor Plugs due to potential metal burrs in the transverse holes that may prevent proper placement of drill pins during surgery, potentially extending surgical time.
Medtronic has recalled the Mo.Ma Ultra Proximal Cerebral Protection Device due to mislabeled manifold stickers. Both sides of affected units were labeled identically, potentially causing confusion about which ports control the proximal versus distal balloons.
The FDA is recalling Alinity c Iron Reagent lots due to inaccurate results. The reagent produces falsely elevated patient iron values and may prevent proper quality control verification.
