Hazard
64 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 64 ventilation failure recalls we have scored against our rubric, 3 (5%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 43 (67%) 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 ventilation 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 is recalling certain Carestation 620/650/650c and 750/750c Anesthesia Delivery Systems because they may not provide effective ventilation in Volume Control Ventilation (VCV) mode. The issue does not affect Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV), PCV-VG, or manual ventilation modes.
Certain GE Healthcare CARESTATION 620, 650, 650c, 750, and 750c anesthesia delivery systems may not provide effective ventilation in Volume Control Ventilation (VCV) mode. Effective ventilation is available using other ventilation modes or manual ventilation.
Certain GE Healthcare CARESTATION anesthesia systems may fail to provide effective ventilation in Volume Control Ventilation (VCV) mode. Alternative ventilation modes or manual ventilation can be used.
Certain GE Healthcare CARESTATION 750 anesthesia systems may fail to provide effective ventilation in Volume Control Ventilation mode. Affected systems can deliver ventilation through alternative modes or manual ventilation.
GE Healthcare CARESTATION 650C A1 anesthesia systems may fail to provide effective ventilation in Volume Control Ventilation mode. Ventilation can be achieved using alternate modes or manual ventilation.
Certain GE Healthcare Carestation anesthesia delivery systems may fail to provide effective ventilation in Volume Control Ventilation (VCV) mode. Affected systems can still be used safely in Pressure Control Ventilation or Manual ventilation modes.
GE Healthcare CARESTATION anesthesia delivery systems may fail to provide effective ventilation in Volume Control Ventilation mode. Affected units can deliver ventilation through Pressure Control Ventilation modes or manual ventilation.
Certain GE Healthcare Carestation 650 A1 anesthesia systems may fail to provide effective ventilation in Volume Control Ventilation mode. Alternative ventilation modes or manual ventilation can be used.
Certain GE Healthcare CARESTATION 750 A2 anesthesia systems may not provide effective ventilation in Volume Control Ventilation mode. Users should switch to Pressure Control Ventilation or Manual ventilation modes.
