September 2025 Recall Report
Every U.S. recall record the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA published in September 2025, counted and sorted: who recalled what, why, and how it compares with earlier months.
Summary
In September 2025 U.S. agencies published 471 recall records that GovInfoNow tracks: 404 from FDA, 20 from CPSC, 42 from NHTSA and 5 from USDA FSIS.
That total is down 3% from August 2025 (485), and down 29% from September 2024 (663).
Medical devices made up the largest share (248, 53%).
Sorting each record by the reason the agency gave, the most common hazards were labeling, dosing or quality defects (106), contamination, sterility or manufacturing (CGMP) (70) and device or part malfunction (45).
Of the 417 recalls our plain-English summaries have rated so far, 32 (7.7%) were rated “stop using now”.
Philips had the most records (54). FDA files one record per product, so one recall event can account for many of these.
Among vehicles, Ford had the most NHTSA recall campaigns (10).
