Hazard
9 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 9 vascular injury recalls we have scored against our rubric, 2 (22%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 1 (11%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all vascular injury 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.
Inari Medical is recalling 45 units of the Artix MT Thrombectomy Device (REF: 32-102, Lot 24100082) because labeling specifies an incorrect vessel range of 2.5-6 mm instead of 3-6 mm, which could increase radial force on arteries and cause vascular complications.
Medos is recalling CERENOVUS CEREBASE DA Guide Sheaths due to reports of fractures at the distal end. Fractures may delay surgical procedures or cause vascular injury.
Zimmer Biomet Spine Inc. is recalling Vitality Polyaxial Screws (7.5mm x 50mm) due to incorrect laser marking showing 7.5 x 40. Incorrect screw size could cause perforation and vascular damage during spinal surgery.
The Maquet Acrobat-i Vacuum Stabilizer System's housing mount jaw may break during cardiac surgery, risking injury to heart tissue, blood vessels, or bypass grafts.
