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
Baxter Healthcare is recalling 946 Welch Allyn Life2000 ventilators due to a battery charger defect that can trigger an alarm and render the device inoperable.
The AquaFlexFlow UF 500 Plus blood circuit may malfunction and remove excessive fluid from patients, causing a dangerous drop in blood volume. This risk is especially dangerous for pediatric patients.
Trokamed is recalling a 20 Fr. endoscopic access overtube due to risk of obstruction and dangerous kidney pressure buildup during procedures. If inflow speed is too quick, rapid fluid flow can restrict outflow and cause intrarenal pressure to accumulate.
Olympus recalls the MAJ-891 endoscope forceps/irrigation plug nationwide because improper reprocessing may leave biomaterial inside the device, creating a contamination risk.
Trokamed GmbH is recalling an endoscopic access overtube sheath due to risk of intrarenal pressure buildup when inflow speed is too fast. No injuries reported.
