FDA Designates Class II Hazard Classification for Terex Utilities Recall
On August 5, 2026, the FDA designated the ongoing recall of Power Over Fiber Base Modules from Terex Utilities as a Class II action under recall number Z-2745-2026. The FDA defines Class II as a classification used where exposure to a product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
The recall covers 101 Power Over Fiber Base Modules distributed nationwide in the U.S. and internationally by Watertown-based Terex Utilities. The action applies to modules carrying identification part numbers P/N 633232, P/N 622365, P/N 633383, P/N 633910, and P/N 635731, following an initial recall date of May 11, 2026.
According to the FDA enforcement report, the device was not certified and no laser product report was filed with CDRH prior to distribution. The FDA noted that the product label incorrectly states the device is "Class IV", although Class 1 is appropriate for the device. Additionally, the units omitted labels required under 21 CFR 1040.10 / IEC 60825-1 via LN#56, lacked certification and proper manufacturer ID labels, were not accompanied by compliant User Information, lacked formalized quality control procedures and record keeping under IEC 60825-1 or 21 CFR 1040.10 standards, and sales information did not convey required class designation and warning statements.

How we work
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
