Hazard
94 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 94 battery depletion recalls we have scored against our rubric, 2 (2%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 17 (18%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all battery depletion 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.
Securitas Healthcare is recalling Arial Water Resistant Pendants (models 59360 and 2560-59360) due to premature battery depletion that may prevent emergency alarms from being received.
Securitas Healthcare LLC recalls Arial Water Resistant Pendants (Models 59361 and 2560-59361) because premature battery depletion may prevent emergency alarms from reaching the wireless alert system. Affected patients may not receive emergency assistance when needed.
Arrow International is recalling the AutoCAT2 Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump worldwide due to a potential issue with short battery run-times. All lot and serial numbers are affected.
GE Healthcare is recalling the Vscan Extend ultrasound device because it will not power on when the battery is depleted. This occurs when the device is not turned off before battery removal or is connected to a computer without AC power.
GE Healthcare is recalling GE Vscan Extend portable ultrasound devices that may fail to power on if not turned off before battery removal or when connected to a computer without AC power.
GE Healthcare is recalling the Vscan Extend ultrasound console due to battery depletion that prevents powering on. The problem occurs when the battery depletes if the device is not turned off before battery removal or is connected to a computer without AC power.
GE Healthcare is recalling the Vscan Extend portable ultrasound device due to battery power failure. The device may not power on when the battery is depleted, particularly if not turned off before battery removal or when connected to a computer without AC power.
GE Healthcare is recalling Vscan Extend portable ultrasound devices that may fail to power on due to battery depletion when the device is not turned off before battery removal or before connecting without AC power.
GE Vscan Extend portable ultrasound devices may not power on due to battery depletion caused by improper device handling. The device must be properly turned off before removing the battery or disconnecting from power sources.
GE OEC Medical Systems is recalling certain OEC 3D Imaging fluoroscopic X-ray systems due to potential premature depletion of the coin cell battery used to monitor X-ray tube temperature, which could cause the system to become inoperable.
GE OEC Medical Systems is recalling 3,570 OEC Elite mobile C-arm imaging systems worldwide due to potential early depletion of the battery that monitors X-ray tube temperature, which could render the system inoperable.
Boston Scientific has recalled certain Proponent pacemaker models worldwide. Hydrogen gas may accumulate inside the device, compromising the capacitor and causing accelerated battery depletion.
Boston Scientific has recalled 5,920 VISIONIST CRT-P pacemakers due to hydrogen gas buildup that can compromise a capacitor and cause accelerated battery depletion. Affected patients should contact their healthcare provider for device evaluation.
Boston Scientific is recalling six Essentio pacemaker models due to a hydrogen release defect that may compromise a critical capacitor and cause accelerated battery depletion. Approximately 31,548 units worldwide are affected.
Boston Scientific VALITUDE CRT-P pacemakers (models U125 and U128) may experience hydrogen release that compromises the capacitor, causing accelerated battery depletion. Patients should consult their healthcare provider.
Boston Scientific is recalling 2,952 Altrua 2 pacemaker units (models S701, S702, S722) distributed worldwide due to hydrogen release that can damage the capacitor and accelerate battery depletion.
Boston Scientific is recalling Accolade pacemaker models L300, L301, L310, L311, L321, and L331 due to latent hydrogen release that compromises the capacitor and accelerates battery depletion.
