Recalls
Searchable archive of product recalls from the FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, NHTSA, and EPA — translated into plain English, severity-scored from objective criteria, and always linked back to the original government notice.
Every recall on this list has been scored 1–5 against an objective rubric from the agency’s own classification, presence of reported injuries or deaths, distribution scope, and hazard type. The colored severity badge on each card is the score — 5 (Critical) means deaths or serious injuries are reported, 4 (Severe) means significant injury or hospitalization risk, and 3 (High) means a known hazard with no confirmed harm yet. Filter to 3+ (High and above) if you want to skip routine Class-III notices.
The agency chips above control which streams are visible. FDA spans food, drugs, and medical devices. USDA FSIS is meat, poultry, and processed egg products. CPSC is household consumer products. NHTSA is vehicles, tires, and child seats. Nationwide on a card means the recall affects every US state — most do — while a state list means distribution was limited.

Minimum severity
Merit Medical Systems is recalling basixTOUCH Inflation Devices due to a potential hole in the sterile barrier. The defect may expose patients to pathogens and pyrogens, increasing infection risk.
Merit Medical Systems recalled 12,910 MONARCH Inflation Devices worldwide due to a potential hole in the sterile barrier. The defect could expose the device to pathogens and pyrogens, potentially leading to infection.
Boston Scientific AVVIGO+ Multi-Modality Guidance System displays incorrect grid overlay when connected to OptiCross 18 catheters in Live or Record mode due to a software anomaly. The wrong overlay could affect reference depth settings used in vascular imaging procedures.
Spineology is recalling 190 Graft Tubes because the shaft may detach from the funnel head when not used as instructed, potentially compromising spinal surgical procedures.
Merit Medical Systems is recalling the basixTOUCH Inflation Device (REF: IN8140/A) because devices may have a small hole in the sterile barrier, potentially exposing users to pathogens and pyrogens that could lead to infection.
Kinova Inc is recalling 949 KINOVA Jaco assistive robots due to a potential fire hazard that may occur if a damaged robot arm interacts with a wheelchair exhibiting electrical leakage.
Nova Ortho-Med is recalling the MONARCH ROLLATOR PURPLE due to a fall hazard: the backrest may disengage when users shift from a slouched to upright seated position.
Nova Ortho-Med is recalling 1,585 MONARCH ROLLATOR RED units because the backrest may disengage from its holder when users adjust from a slouched to upright position, creating a fall hazard.
Medline Industries is recalling 15 kits of MEDLINE HEART CABG DLP Vessel Cannulae due to incorrect model labeling discovered during manufacturing.
Leica Biosystems is recalling the Cryostat Model CM1950 due to missing warnings about using flammable freezing sprays in the device. Flammable sprays can ignite inside the chamber, potentially causing serious injuries.
Leica Biosystems recalls its Cryostat Model CM1100 due to inadequate warnings about using flammable freezing sprays, which can ignite and cause serious injuries. The device labeling lacked required safety warnings prior to 2019.
Nova Ortho-Med is recalling 1,886 MONARCH ROLLATOR BLUE rolling walkers due to a potential fall hazard. The backrest may disengage when users shift from a slouched to upright seated position.
Merit Medical is recalling the basixSKY Inflation Device because a sterile barrier defect could expose users to harmful pathogens and bacteria, risking infection.
Cue Health Inc. is recalling 248,109 COVID-19 test kits (56 lots) that were modified and distributed without FDA approval or authorization. Users should discontinue use and contact the manufacturer.
Merit Medical Systems is recalling 51,900 Monarch Inflation Device syringes due to manufacturing defects causing breaches in the sterile barrier. The devices are used in balloon angioplasty procedures. No injuries have been reported.
Boston Scientific is recalling AVVIGO+ Multi-Modality Guidance Systems due to a software anomaly that displays a 9-grid overlay instead of the correct 15-grid overlay during Live and Record modes. This incorrect display could affect imaging measurements during procedures.
Leica Biosystems is recalling Cryostat Model CM1850 (322 units, US nationwide) due to missing warnings about fire hazard from flammable freezing sprays. The device's labeling prior to 2019 did not warn users that flammable sprays used in the chamber can ignite and cause serious injuries.
Merit Medical Systems is recalling 432 Monarch 30 ATM syringes used in balloon angioplasty procedures due to manufacturing defects creating holes in the sterile Tyvek barrier.
Boston Scientific is recalling AVVIGO+ systems due to a software anomaly that displays an incorrect grid overlay when connected to OptiCross 18 catheters, potentially leading to vessel imaging misinterpretation.
The Boston Scientific AVVIGO+ Guidance System displays an incorrect grid overlay when used with the OptiCross 18 catheter in Live or Record mode, potentially affecting depth reference settings. No injuries have been reported.
Leica Biosystems Cryostat Model CM1510 S is recalled due to missing warning labels about flammable freezing sprays, which can ignite and cause serious injury. The device labeling lacked fire hazard warnings prior to 2019.
Change Healthcare Cardiology Hemo software versions 14.1.1–15.1 may produce inaccurate hemodynamic calculations due to unit-of-measurement configuration errors, potentially leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate patient treatment.
Merit Medical Systems is recalling Blue Diamond Digital Inflation Devices due to potential sterile barrier defects. Affected devices may have small holes that could allow exposure to pathogens, creating infection risk.
Merit Medical Systems is recalling 429 IntelliSystem Inflation Devices due to a potential hole in the sterile barrier that could allow pathogen exposure and infection.
Certain lots of Beckman Coulter Access TSH reagent packs may produce erroneously low thyroid-stimulating hormone results. Affected kits should be verified before clinical use.
