February 2026 Recall Report
Every U.S. recall record the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA published in February 2026, counted and sorted: who recalled what, why, and how it compares with earlier months.
Summary
In February 2026 U.S. agencies published 516 recall records that GovInfoNow tracks: 421 from FDA, 62 from CPSC, 28 from NHTSA and 5 from USDA FSIS.
That total is up 41% from January 2026 (367), and up 12% from February 2025 (461).
Medical devices made up the largest share (270, 52%).
Sorting each record by the reason the agency gave, the most common hazards were falls, cuts and other injuries (78), device or part malfunction (67) and contamination, sterility or manufacturing (CGMP) (62).
Of the 470 recalls our plain-English summaries have rated so far, 93 (20%) were rated “stop using now”.
Medline had the most records (74). FDA files one record per product, so one recall event can account for many of these.
Among vehicles, KIA had the most NHTSA recall campaigns (4).
