Hazard
29 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 29 pressure buildup recalls we have scored against our rubric, 16 (55%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 6 (21%) are Severe.
Which agencies issued them
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all pressure buildup 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.
Westport is recalling certain 2007 and 2009 ISX G Class 8 vehicles equipped with liquefied natural gas pumps due to a potential pressure relief valve defect.
Calphalon is recalling about 13,000 stainless steel kettles because the cover traps steam, causing hot water to escape through the spout and posing a burn risk.
The Tanglefoot Co. is recalling about 35,000 cans of Tree Wound and Grafting Compound because pressure can build inside the can and forcibly discharge the compound, causing temporary skin irritation.
CPSC warns that certain fireplace-powered water heaters may explode if water flow stops and pressure builds. Consumers should have installations checked by a qualified plumber.
