 Listeners, for today, September 16, 2025, the United States is monitoring several public health alerts and advisories. The Food and Drug Administration has just issued public health warnings after discovering that some imported cookware may leach lead, posing a risk to those who use these products for food preparation. The FDA has also expanded an alert on ground cinnamon products due to elevated lead levels and urges listeners to check their pantries and avoid any products affected by the recall, as exposure to lead, especially in children, can lead to long-term health issues.

The CDC, through its MedWatch program, continues to report on medical device safety. Recent alerts include corrections and recalls for certain insulin pumps, ventilators, and continuous glucose monitor applications. Health professionals and consumers are encouraged to review any notices related to their devices for the latest safety information.

Outbreak investigations remain active. The American Academy of Pediatrics highlights ongoing multistate outbreaks, including salmonella linked to frozen foods, pet geckos, and home delivery meals. Listeria outbreaks tied to supplemental shakes have also been under investigation. Pediatricians are advised to be on high alert for measles outbreaks, and there’s an ongoing warning regarding mpox, particularly in children with international travel history or exposure to affected individuals.

According to KFF Health News and Biopharma Dive, this week’s most significant development is the upcoming meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The newly appointed panel, reorganized under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is considering major changes to vaccine recommendations. Of particular note is a potential vote to delay the hepatitis B vaccine from birth to age four. Medical groups, former CDC officials, and pediatricians are raising alarms that postponing this vaccine could expose more children to the risk of hepatitis B, a virus that can be transmitted in early childhood environments and not just through high-risk behaviors. The hepatitis B vaccine has virtually eradicated the disease in American children since its introduction at birth over 30 years ago. Also on the panel’s agenda are reviews and possible updates regarding the vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, and COVID-19. Pediatricians are warning that restricting access to these vaccines could make children more vulnerable to preventable diseases at a time when outbreaks are reemerging.

Meanwhile, the FDA reminds the public about a new dashboard for real-time adverse event reporting for cosmetic products, enhancing transparency so consumers can stay informed about product safety.

Listeners should also be aware of ongoing concerns about highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1, which continues to impact wild birds and U.S. dairy cows, with multiple cases in agricultural workers reported this year.

Finally, the FDA is hosting a number of public sessions this week, including on pediatric drug labeling and novel endpoints for rare disease treatment trials. These meetings signal continued efforts to improve drug and vaccine safety protocols even amid current policy controversies.
