Hazard
4 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 4 excess radiation recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 1 (25%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all excess radiation 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.
DePuy Orthopaedics is recalling Attune Posterior tibial insert implants that received excessive gamma radiation during manufacturing, which may degrade the material properties of the knee replacement component.

Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare is recalling six uDR 596i digital medical X-ray systems due to software errors that may cause incorrect anatomical positioning or loss of image tags, leading to additional radiation exposure.
Ion Beam Applications is recalling five Proteus proton beam therapy systems because a software error may cause under-irradiation or additional X-ray exposure.
