April 2025 Recall Report
Every U.S. recall record the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA published in April 2025, counted and sorted: who recalled what, why, and how it compares with earlier months.
Summary
In April 2025 U.S. agencies published 492 recall records that GovInfoNow tracks: 423 from FDA, 34 from CPSC, 29 from NHTSA and 6 from USDA FSIS.
That total is up 18% from March 2025 (417), and up 11% from April 2024 (443).
Medical devices made up the largest share (246, 50%).
Sorting each record by the reason the agency gave, the most common hazards were contamination, sterility or manufacturing (CGMP) (161), labeling, dosing or quality defects (81) and device or part malfunction (49).
Of the 421 recalls our plain-English summaries have rated so far, 57 (14%) were rated “stop using now”.
Medline had the most records (70). FDA files one record per product, so one recall event can account for many of these.
Among vehicles, Jeep had the most NHTSA recall campaigns (3).
