Hazard
16 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 16 weld crack 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 weld crack 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.
Medtronic is recalling 40 EVERA MRI S DR SureScan ICDs (Model DDMC3D4) due to manufacturing weld cracks that caused devices to fail leak tests. The defect was identified during manufacturing; no patient harm has been reported.
Medtronic is recalling 11 units of the COBALT XT HF QUAD CRT-D MRI SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillator due to a manufacturing defect involving weld cracks that failed quality control testing.
Medtronic is recalling five implantable defibrillators due to a manufacturing defect where weld cracks caused devices to fail quality testing. The defective devices were identified during manufacturing and did not reach patients.
Nine Medtronic COBALT DR MRI implantable cardioverter defibrillators are recalled due to a weld crack that caused devices to fail manufacturing quality checks.
Medtronic is recalling two PRIMO MRI DR SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillators due to a potential manufacturing defect involving weld cracks detected during manufacturing quality testing.
Medtronic is recalling 14 Cobalt XT HF CDT-D MRI SureScan implantable defibrillators due to a manufacturing weld defect that could cause device failure.
Medtronic recalls 13 MIRRO MRI VR SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) due to a manufacturing weld crack. The defect was identified and caused device failure during the manufacturing leak check quality control test.
Medtronic recalls 46 PRIMO MRI VR SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillators due to a manufacturing defect. Weld cracks identified during manufacturing quality checks could cause device failure.
Medtronic is recalling 3 MIRRO MRI DR SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillators due to a manufacturing weld crack that caused devices to fail quality checks. The defect was detected during manufacturing before devices reached patients.
Medtronic is recalling 8 units of the COBALT XT HF CRT-D MRI SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillator due to manufacturing defects identified during quality control testing.
Medtronic recalled 14 COBALT HF QUAD CRT-D MRI SureScan implantable defibrillators due to a weld crack manufacturing defect detected during quality control testing.
Medtronic is recalling 36 COBALT DR MRI SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillators due to a weld crack manufacturing defect. The defect was identified during manufacturing quality checks.
Medtronic is recalling 4 COBALT VR MRI SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillators due to a manufacturing defect involving a weld crack identified during quality control testing.
Medtronic is recalling 6 units of the MIRRO MRI VR SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillator due to a potential manufacturing defect. The devices failed manufacturing quality checks because of a weld crack.
Medtronic is recalling 82 implantable cardioverter defibrillators due to a manufacturing defect involving weld cracks discovered during quality control testing before distribution to patients.
The Link OptiStem Rasp Handle used in knee replacement surgery may develop a crack in the weld that causes the handle to fracture. If this occurs, surgical removal of the rasp must be modified, potentially prolonging the procedure.
