Hazard
4 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 4 safety control failure recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 0 (0%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all safety control failure 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.
GE Healthcare's Optima MR360 MRI systems may allow unsafe RF energy exposure if a scan resumes after power loss. The user interface can incorrectly enable scanning when tissue-heating levels exceed safe limits.
GE Medical Systems' Optima XR646 HD X-Ray imaging systems may allow continued radiation exposure beyond the safety limit without operator confirmation. A warning message displays but does not prevent the excess exposure.

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.
