Hazard
8 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 8 analytical error recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 0 (0%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all analytical error recalls regardless of agency”, “all listeria recalls in California”, “all airbag recalls in 2025”. The tags are extracted from each recall’s source text during the LLM rewrite step and validated against a fixed schema.
A recall can carry multiple tags — a Listeria recall might also be tagged ready-to-eat and undeclared-allergen. Use the full-text search if you want to combine hazard tags with brand or category filters.
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling Atellica CH Diluent (SMN 11099300, Lot 0000195412) due to contamination with sodium hypochlorite, which may affect laboratory test results.
Diagnostica Stago is recalling STA-Owren Koller buffer solution (Lot 270902) because it may produce shorter clotting times in certain tests, potentially leading to a 1% overestimate of clotting results.
Siemens Atellica CH and CI analyzers may produce falsely elevated cholesterol and lipid test results (2–16% high) after iron tests. This affects clinical calibration, quality control checks, and patient test results.
Bio-Rad Laboratories is recalling 932 BioPlex 2200 APLS IgM Reagent Packs (Lot 301538) nationwide because they were packaged with incorrect conjugate. This could result in false-positive and false-negative test results.
