G7 Glucose Receiver, SKUs recalled by Dexcom

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

Defective foam or an assembly error may cause the receiver speaker to lose contact with the printed circuit board, leading to missed audible alerts for low or high blood glucose values. A missed audible alert for low or high blood glucose values could lead to untreated hypo or hyperglycemia which can cause seizures, vomiting, loss of consciousness, or death.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
