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
Trokamed GmbH is recalling an endoscopic access sheath (18 Fr., 130 mm) used in gastroenterology and urology. Rapid fluid inflow may block outflow and cause dangerous pressure buildup inside the kidney.
Boston Scientific's ACCOLADE Family pacemakers, including VALITUDE CRT-P models, are recalled due to battery impedance defects that could trigger unintended Safety Mode during normal operation.
Medline fluid delivery sets were assembled with a macro drip chamber instead of the required micro drip chamber, delivering three times more fluid per drop and risking patient fluid overload.
Boston Scientific is recalling ACCOLADE DR Pacemakers built before September 2018 due to risk of unintended Safety Mode activation caused by battery impedance issues. The devices may enter Safety Mode during normal telemetry operations.
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.
Abiomed is recalling 1,560 units of the Impella RP with SmartAssist pump due to risk of optical sensor damage from device interactions. Damaged sensors may cause temporary or permanent pump malfunction.
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 GmbH is recalling an endoscopic access overtube sheath due to risk of intrarenal pressure buildup when inflow speed is too fast. No injuries reported.
Trokamed's endoscopic access overtube may cause rapid pressure buildup in the kidney if inflow speed is too fast. The device can become obstructed by tissue and blood fragments, restricting outflow.
Medline Fluid Delivery Sets were incorrectly assembled with macro drip chambers instead of required micro drip chambers. The macro chamber delivers three times more fluid per drop, creating a risk of dosing errors.
Olympus recalls the MAJ-891 endoscope forceps/irrigation plug nationwide because improper reprocessing may leave biomaterial inside the device, creating a contamination risk.

Mercury Medical is recalling the Neo-Tee T-Piece Resuscitator due to an undersized spring in the circuit flow controller that may prevent reaching proper pressure ranges, potentially impairing emergency ventilation.
Boston Scientific is recalling certain ESSENTIO DR Pacemakers manufactured before September 2018 due to latent battery impedance that may cause Safety Mode malfunction during normal operations.
Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling Welch Allyn Life2000 Ventilation Systems due to a battery charger malfunction that triggers an alarm and renders the ventilator inoperable.
