In 2026, Insulet Corporation issued voluntary and urgent recalls for specific lots of the Omnipod 5, Omnipod DASH, and Omnipod Eros pods. The recalls followed the discovery of a manufacturing defect that can compromise the insulin fluid path. When that happens, the pod may deliver too little insulin or stop delivering it entirely. For people who depend on steady insulin to manage their diabetes, that interruption can quickly turn dangerous.

The defective pods could be linked to the following serious health conditions:

  • Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) - DKA is a life-threatening condition caused by a severe lack of insulin.
  • Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS) - HHS is another serious diabetes emergency marked by extremely high blood sugar.
  • Severe Hyperglycemia - Hyperglycemia means dangerously elevated blood glucose.
  • Hospitalization and Emergency Treatment - Because these complications can worsen rapidly, many people affected by a faulty pod may need emergency care or hospitalization.

Why Prompt Action Matters.

Interrupted insulin delivery can escalate within hours. If you use an Omnipod device and notice symptoms like nausea, confusion, or trouble breathing, seek medical help right away and check whether your pod is part of the recall.
