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
GE Healthcare CT systems have a technical issue causing progressive image rotation during helical and cardiac scans. No injuries reported, but unnoticed rotation could affect diagnosis or require rescans.
Orthoscan's Ziehm Vision RFD fluoroscopic x-ray systems may have wired hand switches that fail under mechanical stress, potentially causing unintended radiation. The manufacturer is recalling affected units in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
MEDLINE is recalling surgical convenience kits nationwide because they contain smoke evacuation pencil components from a Stryker product that was previously recalled. The affected kits are used in robotic and laparoscopic surgical procedures.
Medline is recalling medical convenience kits (CLEAN CLOSING PACK and CLEAN CLOSURE PACK GREEN) distributed nationwide because they contain a SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencil component that was recalled by Stryker.
Medline is recalling medical convenience kits containing SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils that were previously recalled by Stryker.
GE Healthcare's Revolution Maxima M and related CT systems may produce progressively rotated images during scans, potentially compromising diagnostic accuracy. Rotation increases with each image, reaching up to 56 degrees.
Medline is recalling 44 PORT INSERTION PACK kits nationwide. These kits contain SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencil components that were previously recalled by Stryker.
Becton Dickinson recalls the BD COR GX Instrument due to unauthorized access to product service credentials. Until credentials are updated, there is a risk of unauthorized device access and potential impact to data security.
GE Healthcare's Revolution ACE CT systems can produce progressively rotated images during certain scan modes. Maximum rotation reaches 56 degrees, potentially affecting diagnostic interpretation.
BD confirmed that service credentials used by technical support teams were accessed by an unauthorized actor, creating a risk of unauthorized access to BD microbiology systems and associated data.
Cook Medical HEMO-7-EU Hemospray devices are being recalled because the activation knob may crack or break during use due to manufacturing defects. The affected devices were distributed to Argentina, Brazil, and Israel.
GE Healthcare CT systems may produce progressively rotated images during helical, cine, and cardiac scans. The issue affects 4 units worldwide and can cause rotations up to 56 degrees.
The Ziehm Vision R fluoroscopic x-ray system has a hand switch that may fail under mechanical stress and cause unintended radiation. Ziehm Imaging, Inc. is recalling 5 affected units distributed in the U.S.
Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implants are being recalled due to higher-than-expected rates of complications including implant displacement, subsidence, nerve damage, and fragmentation. Patients with these implants should consult their surgeon.
GE Healthcare Revolution Ascend CT systems can produce progressively rotated images during helical, cine, and cardiac scans. Images after the first may be rotated up to 56 degrees, potentially affecting diagnostic accuracy.
MEDLINE is recalling four types of dental and oral surgery convenience kits that were manufactured using SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils, which were previously recalled by Stryker.
BD service credentials for BACTEC FX instruments were accessed by an unauthorized actor, creating risk of unauthorized system access until credentials are updated.
Medline is recalling five types of medical convenience kits because they contain the SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencil, which Stryker subsequently recalled.
Service credentials for the BD EpiCenter Data Management System were accessed by an unauthorized actor. Until credentials are updated, system data and access controls are at risk.
GE Healthcare operator console upgrades for certain CT systems can cause progressive image rotation during scans. Images may rotate up to 56 degrees per exam, potentially affecting diagnostic accuracy.
Siemens Atellica CH β2-Microglobulin reagent may produce falsely depressed test results for samples between 18-30 mg/L, potentially leading to missed or delayed kidney disease diagnoses. No illnesses have been reported.
Certain GE Healthcare CT systems can produce progressively rotated images during helical and cardiac scans. Images may rotate up to 56 degrees, potentially affecting diagnosis if the rotation is not detected.
Certain GE Healthcare CT systems may display progressively rotated images, particularly during helical, cine, or cardiac scans. The rotation increases with each image, potentially reaching 56 degrees maximum.
GE Healthcare recalled 11 Optima 520 CT systems that produce progressively rotated scan images in helical, cine, and cardiac modes, potentially affecting diagnostic accuracy.
Philips Spectral CT and Spectral CT Plus devices may fail to update plan positioning during interventional procedures, creating collision risks to operators and patients. A software defect may also assign incorrect patient IDs, potentially causing misdiagnosis.
