Of the 7,820 recalls naming Tennessee we have scored against our rubric, 1,317 (17%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 1,653 (21%) are Severe. The remaining 1 are awaiting that pass and carry the agency’s own text in the meantime; they are not counted above, because scoring them before reading them would be a guess.
Which agencies issued them
These figures cover only the 7,821 recalls whose distribution notice names Tennessee specifically. The 72,966 nationwide recalls listed below reach every state, so counting them here would make every state page show the same numbers.
