About Recall Radar

Your unified source for U.S. product recall information

Our Mission

Recall Radar was created to solve a simple but critical problem: finding U.S. product recalls is unnecessarily difficult and time-consuming.

Currently, recalls are scattered across multiple federal agencies—CPSC and FDA—each with their own website, search interface, and data format. For consumers trying to determine if a product in their home has been recalled, this means visiting multiple websites and learning different search systems.

Our mission is to centralize this critical safety information in one place, making it fast and easy for anyone to search across all agencies, receive alerts for products they care about, and take action to protect their families.

How Recall Radar Works

We collect, organize, and deliver recall information from official sources

Data Collection

We continuously monitor official data sources from two federal agencies:

  • CPSC API (Consumer Products)
  • FDA API (Food, Drugs, Medical Devices)

All data comes directly from official government sources—we do not create or modify recall information.

Continuous Updates

Our system checks for new recalls regularly:

  • CPSC: Every 10 minutes
  • FDA: Every 10 minutes

New recalls typically appear on Recall Radar within 1 hour of being published by the agency.

Unified Search

We organize recalls into a unified database with:

  • Standardized categories across agencies
  • Full-text search across all fields
  • Filtering by agency, brand, category, and date
  • Direct links to official source pages

No more visiting multiple websites—search everything in one place.

Email Alerts

Stay informed automatically:

  • Create custom watchlists for specific products or categories
  • Receive email notifications when matching recalls are published
  • Choose instant, daily, or weekly alert frequency
  • Manage all watchlists from one dashboard

Never miss a recall for products you care about.

Important Information

Data Accuracy

Recall Radar aggregates data from official government sources. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy and timeliness, we cannot guarantee that all recalls are captured or that the information is complete or error-free. Always verify critical information on official agency websites.

Not Legal Advice

The information provided on Recall Radar is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, medical, or professional advice. If you have questions about a specific recall, contact the manufacturer or the issuing agency directly.

No Affiliation

Recall Radar is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any government agency. We are not CPSC or FDA—we simply organize their publicly available data.

Coverage Limitations

Our service covers recalls from two major U.S. federal agencies (CPSC and FDA). Some state or local recalls, international recalls, or recalls from other agencies may not be included. We are continuously working to expand coverage.
