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
Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) with a specific glassed feedthrough are recalled due to a rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy.
Certain Medtronic ICDs manufactured with a specific feedthrough may fail to deliver high-voltage therapy. Patients should contact their healthcare provider immediately.
Medtronic is recalling CRT-D defibrillators that may fail to deliver electrical therapy during life-threatening heart rhythms due to a defective feedthrough component. Affected devices were distributed nationwide and worldwide.
Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices may fail to deliver adequate energy during high voltage therapy due to a feedthrough component defect. The rare condition could prevent the device from functioning when needed.
