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
Siemens' Artis zee X-ray imaging systems may have inadequate cooling if the coolant level drops, potentially causing X-ray tube overheating. The system displays warnings and blocks X-ray operation to prevent equipment damage.
Siemens is recalling 373 Artis zee biplane X-ray diagnostic systems due to a cooling circuit defect that could prevent adequate tube cooling. When the coolant level drops, the system may overheat and shut down imaging capabilities.
Medtronic Xomed integrated power console software version 2.7.3.0 has a defect that causes the set number of rotations to mismatch the actual rotations in specific modes when used with M5 handpieces. No injuries have been reported.
Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd. is recalling 150 HUNTLEIGH Disposable Intraoperative Probes (8MHz) because the faceplate may become detached from the probe body during use.
Siemens is recalling 305 Artis zee floor X-ray imaging systems because the cooling circuit may fail to maintain adequate coolant levels, potentially causing the X-ray tube to overheat. The system includes automatic safeguards that shut down X-ray operation if overheating is detected.
Siemens is recalling 38 Artis Q zeego X-ray systems nationwide due to a cooling circuit malfunction that may prevent adequate cooling of the X-ray tube, triggering automatic system shutdown.
Siemens Medical Solutions is recalling 20 Artis pheno diagnostic imaging systems nationwide due to software errors in block movement and detector rotation functions. The malfunction may limit device functionality and delay clinical treatment until the system restarts.
Certain Gallant VR Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator units experience Bluetooth malfunction preventing remote monitoring and reducing battery longevity.
Acumed LLC is recalling Cannulated Screws (4.0mm x 12mm) that may not have sufficient strength to hold bone fragments together, risking fracture or joint damage.
Abbott has recalled 588 TactiCath ablation catheters that were preprogrammed with a 'First Use Date' disabling device functionality. The catheters were distributed worldwide and throughout the U.S.
Siemens recalls 81 Artis Q.zen ceiling imaging systems distributed nationwide due to risk of inadequate X-ray tube cooling if coolant levels fall below a critical threshold, potentially triggering system shutdown.
GE Healthcare MRI systems may fall during magnet de-installation if rigging and hardware are not properly installed and secured, creating a potential injury hazard.
A software anomaly in the Merlin PCS 3650 programmer may cause an in-clinic pacing test to fail terminating and prevent restoration of the implanted device's normal settings. Approximately 30,069 affected devices have been distributed worldwide.
Siemens is recalling 269 Artis Q biplane X-ray systems due to potential coolant level drops that may prevent the X-ray tube from cooling adequately, triggering automatic system shutdown.
The Gallant HF Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (REF# CDHFA500Q) may experience a Bluetooth malfunction that prevents remote monitoring and reduces battery life. Consult your healthcare provider.
Siemens is recalling 35 Artis icono floor diagnostic imaging systems due to five potential software errors affecting equipment movements and detector control. The defects may limit functionality during procedures and could delay clinical treatment until the system is restarted.
Siemens Artis icono biplane diagnostic imaging systems may experience software errors affecting block movements and detector rotation, potentially delaying treatment until the system is restarted.
Sartorius Corporation is recalling the Virus Counter Platform Model VC3100 (model numbers VIR-92166, VIR-92341) distributed nationwide to 82 units, classified as a Class II FDA medical device recall.
