If you've traveled by plane this year, you've likely heard warnings about bringing your Samsung Galaxy Note 7 onboard. After repeated incidents of the popular smartphone catching fire, the Department of Transportation officially banned the device on airplanes.
While the Samsung recall has been one of the most publicized and costliest product recalls of the year, it is far from the largest. With that in mind, FindTheCompany, a corporate research site by Graphiq, ranked the largest product recalls of 2016.
To create this list, the data experts combed through CNBC's log of recalls and curated a list of the recalls that have affected the most products as of Nov. 22, 2016. Only recalls impacting 10,000 units or higher were included. Products are ranked in ascending order by the total number of units affected and ties are broken alphabetically.
As with previous years, vehicles were responsible for the majority of product recalls, with companies like Toyota, Nissan and General Motors all recalling parts. However, the ranking includes everything from burn-inducing fitness bands to flammable scarves.
