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
Trexo Robotics is recalling the Trexo Device due to electrical issues that could cause burns, device malfunction, and electromagnetic interference with other equipment. Consumers should stop using affected devices.
The FDA is recalling FRED Flow Re-Direction Endoluminal Devices due to a manufacturing defect that may result in incorrect inner stent length, potentially affecting device performance. 474 units were affected.
Boston Scientific is recalling Flexiva Pulse 242 ID Trac laser fibers with incorrect components that may overheat and cause burns if touched during use.
Davol's Ventralight ST hernia repair implant balloon may fail to inflate properly during laparoscopic surgery. This could result in procedure delay, inadequate mesh placement, and risk of infection.
Boston Scientific is recalling Flexiva Pulse 242 Single-Use Laser Fibers due to manufacturing defects that reduce power output and aiming beam visibility, risking fiber connector overheating and potential burns.
Boston Scientific recalls Flexiva Pulse ID laser fibers used in urological procedures due to a manufacturing defect that may cause connector overheating and burns. The recall affects 205 units distributed in the US and Canada.
Qiagen's QIAstat-Dx Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel diagnostic kits are recalled due to decreased performance reliability. Failed test runs could require sample retesting, potentially delaying diagnosis.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS NT-proBNP II Range Verifiers Lot 0090 because the product may not meet shelf life stability specifications. Used for diagnostic system calibration verification.
The A901 Communication Manager application did not receive a timely update to match the A710 Clinician Programmer software release for Intellis Neurostimulation Systems, creating a version mismatch.
Qiagen has recalled 4155 QIAstat-Dx Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel kits due to decreased performance reliability. Test failures (run abortions) may require samples to be retested, potentially delaying diagnosis.
Olympus is recalling 17,609 bronchovideoscope units nationwide due to complaints of endobronchial combustion during therapeutic laser procedures, which poses a fire and burn risk to patients.
Abiomed recalls Impella LD blood pumps due to potential interaction with aortic valve replacement devices that can damage the pump impeller and cause blood clots. Patients with these devices should contact their healthcare provider.
Impella 2.5 intravascular blood pumps may experience unintended interaction with aortic valve replacement stents, damaging impeller blades and reducing blood flow. Fragments may circulate through the bloodstream.
Abiomed's Impella 5.0 intravascular blood pump is recalled due to risk of impeller blade destruction when interacting with heart valve replacements. The damaged pump can cause reduced blood flow and potentially release fractured material into the bloodstream.
The Cardiosave Hybrid Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump may lose the ability to charge batteries in one or both bay slots, potentially interrupting critical therapy if disconnected from AC power. Low battery alarms may alert users before therapy is interrupted.

Olympus is recalling 9 bronchoscopes (Models BF-P150 and BF-1T150) due to complaints of endobronchial combustion during therapeutic laser procedures. The defect could cause fire and serious burn injuries.
Datascope has recalled Cardiosave Hybrid IABP models due to tantalum capacitor failures that may cause unexpected device shutdown, interrupting life-critical cardiac therapy.
Datascope Corp. is recalling Cardiosave Rescue Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps due to capacitor failures that may cause unexpected device shutdown. The devices may stop delivering therapy without warning.
Abiomed is recalling Impella CP with SmartAssist blood pumps due to risk of motor housing interaction with transcatheter aortic valve replacement devices, which can damage the pump's impeller blades and reduce blood flow.
Olympus is recalling EVIS EXERA III Bronchovideoscopes nationwide due to complaints of endobronchial combustion during therapeutic laser procedures. This FDA Class I recall affects approximately 9,684 units.
The Cardiosave Rescue Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump may lose battery charging ability in one or both bays, potentially interrupting therapy if disconnected from power. Low battery alarms may alert users before therapy stops.
Olympus is recalling OES Bronchofiberscope models due to reports of combustion during laser procedures. This poses a serious burn injury risk to patients.
Abiomed's Impella CP cardiac pump can be damaged by interaction with replacement heart valves, potentially causing blood clots. The FDA classified this as a Class I recall of 9,252 units worldwide.
The FDA recalls 284 Olympus EVIS EXERA bronchoscopes due to complaints of combustion during therapeutic laser procedures. Users should stop using affected models immediately.
