Hazard
5 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 5 delayed test results 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 delayed test results 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.
Beckman Coulter is recalling Access 2 Immunoassay Analyzers due to sample motor misalignment that may delay patient test result reporting. The recall affects 873 units distributed worldwide.
BD is recalling power supply modules in FACSLyric flow cytometers that may fail to power on or remain powered. Failure could expose lab staff to fumes and cause patient specimen loss or delayed test results.
The BD FACSDuet sample preparation system may dispense specimen volumes that are 3% to 20% higher in one tube versus another, leading to inaccurate blood counts, delayed test results, and potential additional blood collection. The defect affects 130 systems distributed across the US and internationally.
The MicroTip Pack Opener Assembly in VITROS XT 7600 laboratory analyzers may fail to properly remove or replace reagent pack caps, potentially causing unusable packs and delayed test results. Approximately 2,001 affected units were distributed nationwide and internationally.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS Chemistry Calibrator Kit 9 due to incorrect calibration software (DRVs 6194-6200) that prevents laboratory systems from successfully calibrating, causing delayed test results.
