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
Howmedica Osteonics Corp. is recalling SCORPIO Total Knee Concentric Dome Patella components due to potential oxidation in raw materials over 5 years old. No illnesses have been reported.
Philips is recalling the Intera 1.5T Achieva Nova-Dual MRI scanner due to potential failure of the Quadrature Body Coil seal adhesive. If the seal fails, sharp edges may contact patients, risking skin injuries.
GE HealthCare is recalling certain IC9-RS intracavitary ultrasound probes due to a double image artifact that creates ghost images. This unrecognized artifact can lead to diagnostic errors.
Howmedica Osteonics Corp. is recalling a SCORPIO TOTAL KNEE prosthesis component because UHMWPE raw material over 5 years old may have elevated oxidation levels affecting material properties and implant performance. Consumers with this implant should contact their physician for guidance.
Vortex Surgical has voluntarily recalled 800 ACTU8 FORCEPS units due to residue identified on forceps tips. The recall affects surgical instruments distributed in the US (OH, WA, MN, MI, IA) and Korea.
Howmedica Osteonics is recalling Scorpio-Flex knee prosthesis inserts due to potential oxidation in UHMWPE raw material over 5 years old, which could impact material properties.
American Contract Systems is recalling 244 custom procedural kits (Baby PICC, Pediatric PICC, and PORT PACK) distributed nationwide. Components subjected to sterilization without proper validation documentation may have reduced functionality or elevated sterilization residuals.
American Contract Systems is recalling 940 ophthalmic surgical kits nationwide due to undocumented components that may lack functionality, drug efficacy, or contain elevated sterilization residuals.
