September 2026 Recall Report
Every U.S. recall record the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA published in September 2026, counted and sorted: who recalled what, why, and how it compares with earlier months.
Still filling in. FDA publishes enforcement reports weekly, and the last ones for September 2026 are not in our data yet. FDA numbers on this page will rise; month-to-month comparisons are held back until they are complete.
Summary
In September 2026 U.S. agencies published 465 recall records that GovInfoNow tracks: 385 from FDA, 53 from CPSC, 22 from NHTSA and 5 from USDA FSIS.
FDA's enforcement reports for the end of September 2026 are not all in our data yet, so this month's FDA count will rise. We hold off on comparing it with other months until they are.
Medical devices made up the largest share (220, 47%).
Sorting each record by the reason the agency gave, the most common hazards were contamination, sterility or manufacturing (CGMP) (91), labeling, dosing or quality defects (72) and salmonella (46).
Of the 428 recalls our plain-English summaries have rated so far, 84 (20%) were rated “stop using now”.
Medline had the most records (60). 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).
