I downloaded the compressed file to a mounted flash drive and
decompressed it using 'xz -d lfs-usb.iso.xz' and it seems to have
bricked the flash drive (medium not found and similar errors). Here is
some information from journalctl on this device and another flash drive
of the same brand (Staples brand, lsusb shows Kingston).
Bad flash drive log:

Notice that the Product and Manufacturer have changed.
Any thoughts on how this happened or if I can fix it? Was that not the
proper way to decompress the file? I'm not worried about the data, but
it would be nice if I could at least get the drive working again.
Thanks!
