Hazard
170 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all diagnostic 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.
FUJIFILM is recalling Synapse PACS Version 7.2.100 because the medical imaging software produces incorrect measurements when analyzing certain breast images. Affected healthcare facilities using this software version should verify measurement accuracy in their systems.
A software defect in VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic Systems (versions 3.8.0 and 3.8.1) prevents quality control rules from reporting failures as expected, potentially allowing invalid test results to be reported.
Philips CombiDiagnost R90 fluoroscopy systems may display a previous patient's images during radiography examination, potentially showing different image content, format, and size that could affect imaging accuracy.
Becton Dickinson is recalling 2,363,168 units of BD BBL Sensi Disc Levofloxacin testing discs (Catalog No. 231705, 231706) due to potential accuracy and quality control failures in antibiotic susceptibility testing that could lead to delayed diagnosis or inappropriate antibiotic selection.
BD BBL Sensi Disc Piperacillin/Tazobactam antibiotic susceptibility testing discs are recalled due to potential quality control and accuracy failures. These failures may cause delayed or inaccurate test results, affecting patient diagnosis and antibiotic treatment selection.
Becton Dickinson is recalling BD BBL Sensi Disc Cefpodoxime testing discs due to potential accuracy failures in antibiotic susceptibility testing. The defect may cause inaccurate results, delayed diagnosis, or inappropriate antibiotic selection.
Becton Dickinson recalled BD BBL Sensi Disc Augmentin testing discs due to potential accuracy and quality control failures in antibiotic susceptibility testing. Failures may lead to delayed diagnosis or inappropriate antibiotic selection.
BioFire Diagnostics is recalling FilmArray Pneumonia Panel Plus diagnostic test kits due to a potential for false positive results. These inaccurate results could lead to incorrect pneumonia diagnoses.
Becton Dickinson is recalling BD BBL Sensi Disc Azithromycin test discs due to potential accuracy and quality control failures that may delay diagnosis or result in inappropriate antibiotic selection.
BD BBL Sensi Disc Cefixime testing discs are recalled due to potential accuracy and quality control failures that may result in delayed diagnosis or inappropriate antibiotic selection in clinical laboratories.
BD BBL Sensi Disc Doripenem susceptibility testing discs may fail to accurately test antibiotic resistance in H. influenzae, potentially leading to incorrect antibiotic selection and delayed diagnosis. The FDA has recalled 2,363,168 units.
Becton Dickinson is recalling BD BBL Sensi Disc Meropenem antibiotic susceptibility testing discs due to accuracy and quality control failures that may cause delayed or incorrect diagnostic results.
Becton Dickinson recalled 2.3 million lab testing discs used for antibiotic susceptibility testing due to potential quality control failures. These failures could lead to delayed diagnosis or inappropriate antibiotic selection.
GE HealthCare is recalling certain IC9-RS intracavitary ultrasound probes due to a double image artifact that creates ghost images. This unrecognized artifact can lead to diagnostic errors.
Hologic is recalling PANTHER FUSION nucleic acid testing systems due to the potential for false positive influenza B test results when a sample is also positive for SARS-CoV-2.
BioFire Diagnostics recalls 57 kits of the BIOFIRE Respiratory Panel 2.1 due to a manufacturing defect that may produce false negative results, potentially causing treatment delays or missing infections.
BD Biosciences is recalling CD11b APC diagnostic reagent vials that may produce dim fluorescence signals, potentially causing false negative results and misdiagnosis of blood cancers.
Siemens is recalling RAPIDPoint 500 Systems Measurement Cartridges because the sodium sensor can develop a negative measurement bias that could delay diagnosis of serious electrolyte disorders or cause treatment errors.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling certain VITROS ECO2 diagnostic slides that may produce inaccurate carbon dioxide measurements, potentially leading to misdiagnosis of acid-base balance disorders.
A software bug in Philips Brilliance CT scanners causes image-fusion errors, resulting in incorrect radiation therapy coordinates and potential treatment planning failures.
Philips Brilliance CT Big Bore units with software V4.8.0.10421 may produce inaccurate image position data when offset reconstruction is used. This could lead to incorrect radiation therapy planning or diagnosis.
A software defect in Philips Big Bore RT CT scanners may cause incorrect coordinates in radiation therapy planning systems, affecting 56 units distributed nationwide and internationally.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS Lipase Slides due to measurement abnormalities that could result in falsely low or elevated test results. This could delay diagnosis of acute pancreatitis or cause diagnostic confusion.
Nova Biomedical's Stat Profile Prime Plus POC analyzer may report inaccurate creatinine results during the first 2-4 hours after sensor cartridge installation. Standard quality control checks may not detect these errors.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS XT Chemistry TBIL-ALKP Slides because they may report incorrectly low liver enzyme values, potentially leading to missed or delayed liver disease diagnoses. Approximately 52,456 units were distributed worldwide.
