Insulet (Omnipod): They just issued a Class I Recall (the most serious kind) on March 12, 2026. Specific lots of Omnipod 5 Pods have a "manufacturing defect" where internal tubing can tear, causing insulin to leak inside the pod instead of into the patient. This has already led to 18 serious injuries.
Medtronic (MDT): They are currently dealing with a Class II Recall (March 27, 2026) for the MiniMed 780G. They found three different software defects that can cause "critical pump errors," potentially stopping insulin delivery entirely. Their mobile app has also been plagued by "pairing issues" and crashes on newer phones (like the Pixel 10).
Tandem (TNDM): While generally more stable, they’ve had their own "battery drain" app bugs in the past that required users to carry charging cables everywhere.
