Hazard
2 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 2 unnecessary intervention 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 unnecessary intervention 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.
LivaNova is recalling 2,683 VNS Therapy Programmer Model 3000 units because a specific sequence of actions may trigger a false positive warning, potentially leading to unnecessary medical intervention.
Epimed International is recalling 576 units of 15 g R.K. Epidural Needles because they may skive a catheter's outer coating, posing a risk of retained catheter fragments.
