Week of October 26–November 1, 2026

The week in recalls

A pump that can quietly stop delivering insulin, eye drops that may not be clean, and a bulk food missing a major allergen. The devices and medicines took up much of the room.

Recall CanaryUpdated

Let's look at what got recalled this week. There were 67 recalls in all, and they were mostly medicines and medical devices. The ones that matter most involve an insulin pump, some eye drops, and a bulk food sold without a proper label, so let's start there.

Tandem Diabetes Care recalled its Tandem Mobi insulin pump because it can set off a false occlusion alarm. Occlusion means a blockage, but here there is no blockage at all. Extra friction inside the pump makes the motor slow down, and the pump mistakes that for a blocked tube and stops delivering insulin. If you wear one of these pumps, your blood sugar can climb without warning. This is a high risk recall, so check whether your pump is affected and talk to your diabetes team about what to do while you wait for a fix.

Preferred Pharmaceuticals pulled Artificial Tears Lubricant Eye Drops because the company cannot show they were made cleanly. Eye drops go straight onto your eye, so if germs get in, an infection can follow. If you have a bottle at home, stop using it. House Foods America also recalled Seitan Cubes sold in bulk without a proper label. The label never mentions wheat, which is a serious problem for anyone with a wheat allergy. This one is rated high risk.

There is more in the full list below, including a blood pressure medicine that may carry extra impurities and a heart pump controller with a software problem. Take a minute to check your own shelves and your medicine cabinet. If something you own is on the list, follow the instructions from the company or the agency, and pass the word to anyone you know who uses the same product.

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
