Insulet issued two voluntary medical device corrections in March and May 2026 for separate manufacturing issues that caused cannula tears in certain Omnipod products. The company recorded a $38.5 million net charge for the corrections during the first nine months of 2026 and accrued an estimated $37.0 million liability. Warranty liability estimates were reduced by $10.7 million for the nine-month period, including a $7.0 million reduction in the third quarter, because fewer Pods required replacement than initially estimated. Total correction costs are estimated at approximately $50 million, with most expected to be incurred during 2026.
