Hazard
3 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 3 contrast overdose 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 contrast overdose 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.
Philips IQon Spectral CT systems can recommend excessive contrast volume when patient weight is set to pounds due to a SynchRight software calculation error, potentially resulting in patient overdose.
Philips CT5000 X-ray systems may incorrectly calculate contrast volume doses when patient weight units are set to pounds. The software error could recommend higher-than-intended contrast volumes.
A software defect in Philips CT imaging systems causes incorrect contrast volume calculations when patient weight units are set to pounds, resulting in increased contrast dosing recommendations. Three units with specific serial numbers are affected.
