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.

MEDLINE is recalling circumcision kits manufactured with SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils that were previously recalled by Stryker. No injuries have been reported.
An unauthorized actor accessed service credentials for Becton Dickinson's BD MAX diagnostic systems. Until credentials are updated, there is risk of unauthorized access that may impact data confidentiality, system integrity, and availability.
Medline is recalling surgical convenience kits that contain defective smoke evacuation pencils previously recalled by Stryker. The 478 affected units were distributed nationwide; healthcare facilities should discontinue use immediately and contact Medline for instructions.
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.
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 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.
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.
GE Healthcare CT systems may display progressively rotated images, particularly in helical, cine, and cardiac scans. Rotations up to 56 degrees may affect image interpretation and could necessitate additional patient scanning.
Three Ziehm Vision x-ray systems have hand switches that may fail under mechanical stress, potentially causing unintended radiation. Owners should verify their serial numbers and contact the manufacturer.
BD recalled BACTEC 9120 Systems because technical support credentials were compromised by an unauthorized actor. Until credentials are updated, there is a risk of unauthorized access to the devices and associated data.
Medline is recalling medical convenience kits containing SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils that were previously recalled by Stryker.
GE Healthcare recalled 11 Optima 520 CT systems that produce progressively rotated scan images in helical, cine, and cardiac modes, potentially affecting diagnostic accuracy.
BD service credentials for BACTEC FX instruments were accessed by an unauthorized actor, creating risk of unauthorized system access until credentials are updated.

The Ziehm Vision RFD 3D hand switch can fail when exposed to mechanical stress like dropping, potentially initiating unintended radiation from the x-ray system.
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.
BD EpiCenter software service credentials were accessed by an unauthorized actor. Until credentials are updated, there is risk of unauthorized access to the software and associated data.
Medline is recalling 14,388 surgical convenience kits nationwide manufactured with certain lots of SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils previously recalled by Stryker. Affected kits should not be used.
