Week of August 17–23, 2026

The week in recalls

Medical devices and medicines carried much of the week, with a dog food pulled over metal pieces and a car told to stay outdoors. The thyroid tablets and the heart device are the ones to read closely.

Recall CanaryUpdated

Time for this week's recall roundup. There were 61 recalls this week, mostly medical devices and medicines, with a share of vehicles and food mixed in. The ones that matter most are a thyroid tablet that may be stronger than its label says and a device used in a neck artery procedure, so let's start there.

Vitruvias Therapeutics Thyroid Tablets may be stronger than the label states, which the FDA rates as high risk. Thyroid medicine is dosed carefully, and a tablet with more active ingredient than expected can push a patient's levels too high, causing a racing heart, anxiety, sweating or worse. If you take these tablets, check your bottle against the recall notice and talk to your pharmacist before your next dose.

Boston Scientific ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System is a high risk recall because the tip of a sheath used during a carotid artery procedure can separate or partly separate while it is in use. That is a problem for the surgical team, not something a patient can check at home, so hospitals and clinics should pull affected units and follow the instructions in the notice.

A few others are worth a minute. Fromm Diner Classics Milo's Meatloaf Pate and Fromm Pate Turkey Pate may contain pieces of metal, which can choke a dog or cause vomiting and other serious problems, so stop feeding it and check the lot codes. Lucid Air cars from certain model years have an exterior lighting circuit that may overheat, and the warning is to park outside until the fix is done. The full list below has everything from the week, including the rest of the food, drug and vehicle notices.

How this list is made

Each recall is filed under the week of one date, a UTC calendar day. Which date depends on the agency; the recall’s own page names it.

FDA
The day FDA first posted the recall to its Enforcement Report (“Posted” on the recall page), or the day the company’s announcement appeared on FDA’s recalls page, if that came first (“Company announced”). When the day FDA posted it is not known, the day FDA classified it (“Classified”); when we listed the recall before any FDA date, the day we first listed it (“Listed on this site”). FDA’s weekly Enforcement Report, and news roundups built from it, often list the same recall a week or two later.
USDA FSIS
The day FSIS announced the recall or public health alert (“Announced”). An expanded recall keeps its first date.
CPSC
The recall date CPSC published (“Announced”).
NHTSA
The day the manufacturer filed its defect report with NHTSA (“Reported”). NHTSA publishes it days to weeks later, so vehicle recalls keep arriving after a week ends, and news coverage often comes a week or two after the week they are listed in.

Biologics are recalls by FDA’s biologics center (CBER), such as blood, tissue and vaccines, and blood bank equipment. They are usually handled by hospitals, clinics, blood banks and doctors’ offices, not bought in stores. Antibody drugs and other therapeutic biologics that FDA regulates as drugs are listed under Drugs, as FDA files them.

Once a week is over, Recall Canary writes a short post about it from the agencies’ records of that week’s listed recalls only, and rewrites it when they change. Each recall’s own page has the agency’s notice and what to check.

A recall the agency later withdrew stays listed with no risk level, and its own page is marked Withdrawn. A recall notice not yet matched to an agency record is a notice posted on the FDA or CPSC site (a company’s announcement on FDA’s site, or a CPSC news release) before it is matched to the agency’s recall record.

Not listed here: recalls by states, local agencies, other countries or other federal agencies (such as the EPA or the U.S. Coast Guard), and FDA safety alerts that are not recalls. More about dates and sources
