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
Angiodynamics is recalling DURAFLOW 2 vascular access devices due to loose metal shavings that may travel through blood vessels, potentially requiring surgical removal.
Angiodynamics DURAFLOW 2 hemodialysis kits may contain loosely affixed metal shavings that could enter the bloodstream. Metal fragments may require surgical removal if they embolize.
GE Healthcare recalls Allia IGS and related interventional fluoroscopic x-ray systems due to potentially missing adhesive on bolts. The defect could allow the detector/elevator or x-ray tube in the gantry assembly to fall.
Angiodynamics recalls the Duramax Stacked Tip vascular access kit used for hemodialysis due to potential loose metal shavings that could enter the bloodstream and require surgical removal.
GE Healthcare is recalling x-ray imaging systems because adhesive on critical bolts may not have been applied, potentially causing the detector or x-ray tube to fall. The recall affects 21 units worldwide.
Stryker shipped 63 units of cranial mesh labeled as catalog 56-90614 (Gold) but actually containing 56-90314 (Blue) mesh. The mislabeling may cause procedural delays.
Randox Laboratories is recalling 40 units of the Evidence MultiSTAT analyzer because a foam gasket defect may allow light to leak into the camera during testing, potentially affecting result accuracy and delaying reporting.
Thoratec HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist system implant kits may develop a leak at the seal interface between the inflow cannula and titanium apical cuff, potentially compromising device function.
Thoratec recalls HeartMate 3 left ventricle assist systems due to potential leaks at the seal interface. The FDA Class I recall affects 659 implanted devices worldwide.
Olympus Corporation is recalling the POWERSEAL 5 mm, 23 cm, Curved Jaw Sealer and Divider due to a device malfunction where the sealer fails to deliver energy upon activation, resulting in incomplete seal cycles and surgical delay.
IVOCLAR VIVADENT AG is recalling 7,445 units of IPS e.max ZirCAD CER/in. Prime zirconium oxide blocks because they may crack during sintering, potentially causing dental restorations to fracture in patients' mouths.
Zimmer orthopedic plates may have thread defects preventing locking screws from properly securing to the implant. This could delay surgery or cause loss of fixation requiring additional intervention.
Philips recalls 12 units of its Spectral CT Oncology Essentials system because a marking laser could reflect off the gantry cover, potentially causing misdiagnosis and incorrect patient treatment.
RayStation 14.0.0.3338, a radiation therapy treatment planning system, may report source-to-surface distance (SSD) values as higher than actual measurements, potentially affecting radiation dose calculations. The FDA Class II recall involves 49 units distributed worldwide.
IVOCLAR VIVADENT is recalling 2,472 units of IPS e.max ZirCAD CER/in. Prime dental material blocks because defects may cause cracks during sintering, risking fracture in the patient's mouth.
Zimmer periarticular locking plates used in orthopedic surgery have a thread defect that may prevent proper locking of screws. The defect could delay surgery or result in loss of fixation requiring additional intervention.
Stryker Neurovascular is recalling 43 units of Distal Access Catheter Lot 0000486382 due to out-of-specification endotoxin results. The affected lot was distributed across 12 states.
Olympus POWERSEAL surgical sealers may fail to deliver energy upon activation, resulting in incomplete seal cycles and surgical delays. Affected devices display an error tone and message instead of completing the sealing function.
Olympus POWERSEAL curved jaw sealers may fail to deliver energy during initial activation, causing incomplete seal cycles and surgical delays. Affected units should be removed from service immediately.
RayStation radiation therapy treatment planning software versions 8.1.0.47, 8.1.1.8, and 8.1.2.5 may calculate source-to-surface distance incorrectly, potentially affecting dose calculations. Approximately 5 units are distributed worldwide.
Advanced Research Medical is recalling 1,150 units of its Lumbar Interbody Fusion System Flexible Curette Loop Blade because the disposable blade may shear during surgery, potentially leaving fragments within the shaft assembly. No injuries have been reported.
Zimmer recalls Periarticular Locking Plate System devices due to thread defects that may prevent proper screw locking and cause surgical delay or loss of fixation.
RayStation radiation therapy planning software versions 9.0.0.113 and 9.0.1.142 may report dose values that are higher than actual. The Class II recall affects 63 units distributed worldwide.
One lot of Sofsilk Braided Silk sutures (Product Number S-2782K) was exposed to more sterilization cycles than approved, which may reduce tensile strength and increase risks of wound complications and infections during surgery.
RayStation versions 13.0.0.1547, 13.1.0.144, and 13.1.1.89 radiation therapy treatment planning systems are recalled due to a potential software error in source-to-surface distance calculations that could affect radiation dose delivery.
