New Zealand Health recalls

Health product recall notices for New Zealand help you check the products you own. Medicines, supplements and medical devices are recalled for contamination, incorrect labelling or dosage, packaging that fails child resistance, and device faults. A notice may cover a specific batch, strength, pack size or device model, and may be intended for patients, health professionals or distributors. Compare those details with the official notice and read the instructions for your audience. The action can differ between products, so do not infer treatment advice from a recall headline alone.

This hub lists relevant notices available from official New Zealand health-product notices we index. Check that the notice applies to a product supplied in New Zealand. Distribution details, model variants and supplier contact information may differ from an overseas notice for a similar item. Use the original New Zealand notice to confirm the affected product and the action requested.

How to check if you are affected

A health-product notice can apply to a narrow group of products rather than everything sold under a brand name. Before acting, compare product names, lot or batch numbers, serial numbers, expiry dates, device models and supplier details against the product you own. The official notice may also name retailers, regions, images, component versions or distribution periods. These details matter because they help distinguish an affected item from a similar product that is not included in the notice. If something does not match, do not assume the alert applies without checking the source page.

• Batch or lot number on the pack against the official notice
• Expiry date and affected date range
• Medicine strength and pack size, or device model and serial number
• Whether the notice's instructions apply to patients or health professionals

What to do if your product is on the list

Read the official patient or consumer instructions for the exact product and batch. Contact your pharmacist, prescriber or device care team if you are unsure whether you are affected or how to follow the notice. Do not change prescribed treatment or stop an essential device solely because of a search result; some notices require a replacement or professional assessment rather than immediate discontinuation. Follow any urgent instructions in the official notice, and use the stated return or replacement process instead of assuming every recall requires disposal.

Use the latest-recalls list below to scan current notices, then open a card when you find a possible match. The detail page brings together the title, affected-product information, identifiers, dates, images where available and a direct source link. You can also use the filters and search tools to narrow the results by words, category and country.

This page is updated as source material becomes available through the RecallScope data pipeline. A missing result does not prove that a product is safe or that no notice exists: regulators can change, correct or remove public information, and notices can apply only to specific products or markets. Keep packaging, receipts, serial details and other identifiers until you have compared them with the original notice. They are often needed to obtain a repair, replacement or refund.
