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
A software issue in BD PYXIS automated medication dispensing cabinets can cause restock labels to print with incorrect bin numbers. Four units are affected nationwide.
A software defect in the BD PYXIS MEDBANK automated dispensing cabinet causes incorrect medication bin locations to be printed on restock labels, potentially resulting in medication dispensing errors. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.
A software issue in the BD PYXIS MDBNK medication dispensing cabinet may cause restock labels to print with incorrect bin locations, potentially affecting medication storage accuracy.
A software error in GE SIGNA Hero MRI systems can cause overheating of MR conditional implants under specific conditions. The recall affects 95 units distributed worldwide.
GE Medical Systems recalled 2,146 SIGNA 1.5T MR systems that may overheat implants during certain imaging sequences in Low SAR mode due to a software defect in radiofrequency safety calculations.
GE Medical Systems is recalling SIGNA Architect MRI systems in which software may allow B1+ radiofrequency exposure to exceed user-prescribed limits during certain T2 FLAIR imaging sequences, risking MR-conditional implant overheating.
CareFusion is recalling 232 automated medication dispensing cabinets due to a software issue that may print incorrect medication bin labels, potentially causing medication dispensing errors.
A software defect in BD PYXIS MEDBANK automated medication dispensing cabinets may cause the incorrect medication bin to be printed on restock labels, potentially resulting in medication errors.
GE Medical Systems is recalling 404 SIGNA Premier MRI systems worldwide due to a software issue where radiofrequency energy can exceed prescribed safety limits during specific imaging sequences, potentially overheating MR-conditional implants.
Siemens LUMINOS Lotus Max X-ray displays are being recalled because the support arm may lower unintentionally, potentially injuring people nearby during positioning.
Philips IntelliVue Patient Monitor models with software L.x and M.x lack critical monitoring capabilities due to a software update. This could result in incorrect or delayed patient treatment.
GE Medical Systems is recalling 72 SIGNA Prime MR imaging systems worldwide. Under specific imaging conditions, the systems can exceed prescribed radiofrequency safety limits, potentially causing MR conditional implants to overheat.
BioFire Diagnostics is recalling gastrointestinal diagnostic test kits due to false positive Vibrio results when used with certain transport mediums.
GE SIGNA Pioneer MR systems with certain software versions may allow radiofrequency exposure to exceed prescribed limits in Low SAR Mode when using specific imaging sequences, potentially causing overheating of MR conditional implants.
FDA recall of BD PYXIS MEDBANK automated medication dispensing cabinets due to a software defect that prints incorrect bin information on restock labels, potentially leading to medication identification errors.
GE SIGNA MR380 MRI systems with software versions SV25.5 or SV25.6 may exceed radiofrequency heating limits during certain imaging sequences, potentially causing MR-conditional implants to overheat. The issue occurs in Low SAR Mode when specific T2 FLAIR sequences are used with the Optimized T2 FLAIR option disabled.
GE Medical Systems recalled SIGNA MAGNUS MRI systems with software versions MR29.1 or RX29.1. Under specific imaging conditions in Low SAR Mode, the system may exceed safe radiofrequency power limits and cause implanted medical devices to overheat.
A software issue in the BD PYXIS MEDBANK automated medication dispensing cabinet can cause incorrect bin labels to be printed for restock operations. This could lead to medication administration errors affecting patient safety.
GE Medical Systems is recalling SIGNA Artist MR imaging systems because they may produce radiofrequency power exceeding user-set limits when using certain imaging sequences in Low SAR Mode, potentially causing MR-conditional implants to overheat.
The Philips Azurion Interventional Fluoroscopic X-ray System may lose imaging functionality or experience longer restart times. The FDA is recalling approximately 3,011 units of this device worldwide.
GE Medical Systems is recalling SIGNA UHP MRI systems with software versions RX28.0 or MR30.1. A configuration issue can cause radiofrequency output to exceed prescribed limits, potentially overheating MR conditional implants.
American Contract Systems is recalling 29 gynecological laparoscopy surgical kits due to insufficient aeration during sterilization, which may compromise sterility and increase infection risk for patients.
GE SIGNA MR355 MRI systems running software versions SV25.5 or SV25.6 may cause implant overheating in certain scanning conditions. Risk occurs when using specific imaging sequences with the Optimized T2 FLAIR feature disabled.
BD PYXIS MEDBANK automated medication dispensing cabinets with software version 3.9.1.9 may generate incorrect bin location labels during restocking. This could cause medications to be placed in wrong storage locations.
Philips IntelliVue Patient Monitors (MX400/450/500/550) with software versions L.x or M.x lack required monitoring capabilities due to removed software entitlements. The missing features could lead to incorrect or delayed patient treatment.
