Hazard
5 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 5 feedthrough defect recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 5 (100%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all feedthrough defect 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.
Medtronic implantable defibrillators may fail to deliver therapy during critical cardiac events due to a feedthrough defect. Approximately 25,058 units are affected nationwide and worldwide.
Medtronic implantable defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization devices with a specific glassed feedthrough may fail to deliver full energy during therapy. Approximately 8,575 units affected worldwide.
Certain Medtronic cardiac defibrillators may produce reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. The defect involves a specific feedthrough component used in the manufacturing process.
Medtronic CRT-D and ICD implantable defibrillators may fail to deliver therapy due to a rare defect in a specific feedthrough component. The recalled devices carry a potential for reduced or no-energy output during high-voltage heart rhythm treatment.
Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices may fail to deliver adequate energy during high voltage therapy due to a feedthrough component defect. The rare condition could prevent the device from functioning when needed.
