2 recalls in our database name Shimadzu Corp. Analytical & Measuring Instruments Div. as the manufacturing or recalling firm.
Of the 2 recalls from Shimadzu Corp. Analytical & Measuring Instruments Div. 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.
The manufacturer string comes from the agency’s own source notice — for FDA recalls, the “recalling firm” field; for NHTSA recalls, the vehicle manufacturer; for CPSC recalls, the firm-of-record on the joint press release. A single corporate family can appear under multiple manufacturer strings as agency notices aren’t standardized on a canonical name. If you don’t see recalls you expect, try a parent-company search or a broader full-text search.
Severity scores below are computed from the agency’s classification and the recall text, never from manufacturer behaviour or history. Many manufacturers issue routine corrective actions (software updates, labelling corrections) that are correctly scored low — having recalls on this list isn’t inherently a quality signal.
Shimadzu laboratory autosamplers are being recalled due to water intrusion from a dehumidifier that can cause electrical short circuits. Affected units are distributed worldwide, including across the United States.
Water condensation may accumulate under the autosampler's thermal insulation and damage the main board, causing communication errors and delays in laboratory testing. Two Shimadzu models are affected: SIL-40C XR CL and SIL-40C X3 CL.
