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 the agency’s own highest classification or reported deaths or serious injuries, 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
Aizu Olympus is recalling Hysteroscope Model HYF-1T devices because the channel air drying process after repair was not validated. Some returned units had residual moisture that could allow contamination and infection.
Biomet is recalling Compress Device Short Anchor Plugs due to potential metal burrs in the transverse holes that may prevent proper placement of drill pins during surgery, potentially extending surgical time.
Aizu Olympus recalls bronchoscopes due to unvalidated air drying process. Some returned units after repair contain water in channels, creating infection risk.
Biomet is recalling Compress Device Segmental Anchor Plugs (18 MM) due to metal burrs in transverse holes that may prevent proper drill or pin placement, potentially extending surgery time.
Philips is recalling Achieva 1.5T MRI systems due to potential gradient coil failure that could produce smoke and/or fire. Approximately 520 units have been distributed nationwide and internationally.
Integrity Biochem HSC 70-LM hand sanitizer in 55-gallon drums (Lot #2133607, manufactured 11/23/2021) is being recalled due to acetal and acetaldehyde contamination above FDA standards. Product was distributed to an Oklahoma distributor.

Aizu Olympus colonoscopes are being recalled because the air drying process for the instrument channel was not properly validated. Some units returned after repair had moisture in the channel, creating a risk of contamination and infection.
Biomet is recalling Compress Device Short Anchor Plugs (20 MM) because metal burrs in transverse holes prevent surgical instruments from passing through, potentially extending surgery time.
Aizu Olympus sigmoidovideoscope (model PCF-S) units are being recalled due to an unvalidated channel drying process. Some repaired units returned with water in channels, risking contamination and infection.
Biomet is recalling Compress Device Short Anchor Plugs (23 MM) due to potential metal burrs in transverse holes that may prevent proper insertion of surgical instruments, potentially extending surgery time. Distribution includes US and multiple international countries.
Biomet is recalling Compress Device Segmental Anchor Plugs due to metal burrs that may prevent surgical instruments from passing through properly. The defect may result in extended surgery time.
Biomet is recalling Compress Device Segmental Anchor Plugs due to metal burrs in transverse holes that may prevent drill or pins from passing through, potentially extending surgical time.
SunMed Holdings is recalling Ventlab Horizon manual resuscitators due to a backwards leak in the integrated manometer that allows carbon dioxide rebreathing. The affected devices were manufactured from September 2018 to the present and distributed nationwide.
Philips is recalling the Intera 1.5T Power/Pulsar MRI system due to potential failure in the gradient coil component that could produce smoke and/or fire.
