October 2026 Recall Report
Every U.S. recall record the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA published in October 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 October 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 October 2026 U.S. agencies published 420 recall records that GovInfoNow tracks: 333 from FDA, 43 from CPSC, 40 from NHTSA and 4 from USDA FSIS.
FDA's enforcement reports for the end of October 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 (244, 58%).
Sorting each record by the reason the agency gave, the most common hazards were labeling, dosing or quality defects (123), contamination, sterility or manufacturing (CGMP) (58) and fire, burns or electric shock (34).
Of the 190 recalls our plain-English summaries have rated so far, 100 (53%) were rated “stop using now”.
ASP Global, LLC. had the most records (63). FDA files one record per product, so one recall event can account for many of these.
Among vehicles, Forest River had the most NHTSA recall campaigns (4).
