Hazard
20 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 20 laser exposure 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 (5%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all laser exposure 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.
Fresh Roast Systems ColorTrack instruments, model BENCH R-100, are being recalled because a manufacturing defect could allow access to infrared laser light above the product's safety classification.
PACIFIC LASERTECH's 25-LHP-928 HeNe laser systems have a safety defect: the key control can be removed while the laser is operating. The company is replacing affected units with corrected key switches.
Pacific LaserTech's 25-LHP-828 HeNe laser systems allow the key to be removed while operating, violating federal safety requirements. Four units distributed nationwide lack proper controls to prevent unintended laser operation.
Ra Medical Systems is recalling 36 DABRA Laser devices because the footswitch may fail to protect against liquid ingress, potentially causing the laser to remain on.
Zeiss is recalling a component for LSM 700, 800, and 900 microscopes because tilting the light arm can bypass laser safety, causing Class IIIB laser radiation emission.
Aerolase Corporation is recalling 65 LightPod ERA lasers because they lack a required remote interlock connector, posing a potential safety hazard.
Collins Aerospace is recalling TASE 500 Imaging systems because the Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance for the alignment laser was miscalculated.
Collins Aerospace is recalling 433 TASE 400 Imaging systems because the Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance for the alignment laser was miscalculated.
Teleflex Medical is recalling 1,787 units of RUSCH LASERTUBE (Rubber) because the laser guard foil partially separated or detached at the edges.
Teleflex Medical is recalling RUSCH LASERTUBE devices because the laser guard foil partially separated or detached at the edges.
Teleflex Medical is recalling 4,312 units of RUSCH LASERTUBE (Rubber) because the laser guard foil partially separated or detached at the edges.
Wescam Inc is recalling 29 MX-10 surveillance laser systems because the ocular hazard distance is longer than specified, posing a risk of eye exposure.
Zeiss is recalling specific laser scanning microscopes because the laser shutter may not close completely, allowing reflected beams to exceed Class I safety limits.
X-Laser is recalling 830 high-power laser light show projectors because they fail to meet federal performance standards when used in auto and music modes.
Laserex Systems Inc. is recalling 74 Ellex Medical Fixed Eye Safety Filters due to a design error in the optic adaptor that may compromise eye protection.
Laserworld USA Inc. is recalling RGB and Piko Nano RGB laser light show projectors due to missing laser safety warnings and incomplete user information.
Lumenis is recalling three Vision One Laser Systems due to a potential for unintended laser exposure to the user.
Lockheed Martin Gyrocam Systems are being recalled because they contain Class IIIb lasers that failed FDA performance standards and were sold without a required variance.
Motorola Inc is recalling PCS3000/CS3070 laser utility products because they were manufactured with Class 2 laser power settings instead of the specified Class 1 levels.
Kerr Corporation is recalling 639 Laser Loupes because the ink marking the laser frequency protection may wipe off, though the devices function correctly.
