Week of February 16–22, 2026
The week in recalls
Metal and glass turned up in frozen food, a brake pedal that can come loose, and a surgical device that can push too hard. The recalls that matter most are the ones you can still act on.

Another week, another round of recalls. There were 45 of them, and most were vehicles and medical devices. The ones that matter most are a brake problem in a big van, metal and glass in frozen food, and a surgical device that can build up too much pressure, so let's start there.
Ford is recalling certain Ford Transit vans because the brake pedal can disconnect from the brake booster pushrod. If that happens, the pedal goes to the floor and you lose the brakes, which is why the warning is do not drive. This is a high risk recall, and if you own one of these vans, do not drive it until the fix is done. Call your dealer and ask them to come to you if you can.
Two frozen food recalls are worth your freezer check. Bremer Family Size Italian Style Meatballs may contain metal fragments, and Ajinomoto Fried Rice, Ramen, and Shu Mai may contain glass. Eating either can hurt your mouth or throat. If you have these in your freezer, throw them out or take them back to the store for a refund.
One more for anyone who works in a clinic or had a recent procedure: the Olympus High Flow Insufflation Unit has a software problem that can cause overpressure during surgery. If your facility uses one, stop and check with Olympus about the update. For the rest of this week's recalls, including the Medline Sterile Saline Wound Wash and Convenience Kits and the BMW M5 and 5 Series vehicles, the full list is below.
