Manufacturer
6 recalls in our database name Zeiss, Carl Inc as the manufacturing or recalling firm.
Of the 6 recalls from Zeiss, Carl Inc we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 1 (17%) 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.
Zeiss is recalling ZEISS Axio Observer 5 microscopes due to an incorrect Unique Device Identification (UDI) label installed on some units. The labeling discrepancy affects device tracking and identification.
Zeiss is recalling a component for LSM 700, 800, and 900 microscopes because tilting the light arm can bypass laser safety, causing Class IIIB laser radiation emission.
Zeiss is recalling 8 UV disinfection units for the Celldiscoverer 7 microscope because a firmware issue may allow the unit to activate outside its housing, exposing users to harmful UV radiation.
Zeiss is recalling specific laser scanning microscopes because the laser shutter may not close completely, allowing reflected beams to exceed Class I safety limits.
Carl Zeiss Microscopy is recalling the Compensator Slider Lambda 6x20 component due to misalignment of the lambda plate.
Carl Zeiss Microscopy is recalling Polarizer D components for upright Zeiss microscopes due to a misaligned full-wave plate.
