Hazard
35 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 35 battery impedance recalls we have scored against our rubric, 28 (80%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 6 (17%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all battery impedance 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.
Boston Scientific is recalling 63,851 PROPONENT DR EL MRI pacemakers, part of a software update designed to prevent Safety Mode starting outside hospital because of a high battery impedance state.
Boston Scientific is recalling 50,135 ACCOLADE SR SL MRI pacemakers, part of a software update designed to prevent Safety Mode starting outside hospital because of a high battery impedance state.
Boston Scientific ALTRUA 2 DR Pacemakers may unexpectedly enter Safety Mode during normal operation due to high battery impedance, potentially affecting device functionality.
Boston Scientific's ACCOLADE Family pacemakers, including VALITUDE CRT-P models, are recalled due to battery impedance defects that could trigger unintended Safety Mode during normal operation.
Boston Scientific is recalling certain ESSENTIO DR Pacemakers manufactured before September 2018 due to latent battery impedance that may cause Safety Mode malfunction during normal operations.
Boston Scientific is recalling ACCOLADE DR Pacemakers built before September 2018 due to risk of unintended Safety Mode activation caused by battery impedance issues. The devices may enter Safety Mode during normal telemetry operations.
Boston Scientific is recalling certain PROPONENT DR pacemakers built before September 2018 due to latent battery impedance that could cause unexpected Safety Mode initiation during normal operation.
Dual chamber INGENIO DR EL pacemakers with Extended Life batteries may develop high internal impedance, causing devices to enter Safety Mode later in life. Affected patients should contact their healthcare provider about replacement.
Boston Scientific recalls dual chamber INGENIO family pacemakers and CRT-Ps with Extended Life batteries that may develop high internal impedance, causing Safety Mode and system resets, requiring device replacement.
Boston Scientific is recalling VITALIO DR EL pacemakers with Extended Life batteries due to a latent battery condition that may cause unexpected device resets and Safety Mode activation later in device life.
