Product Recall Checker for Your SKU List (CPSC, FDA, NHTSA)

Paste your product catalog (SKU, name, brand, UPC) and any vehicles, and get back only the US federal recalls that match them, each with a 0 to 100 match score and the reason it matched. It checks SaferProducts.gov (CPSC), openFDA (food, drugs, devices) and NHTSA vehicle recalls in one run.

Who uses this

• Amazon, Shopify, eBay and Walmart sellers auditing inventory before a marketplace takes a listing down
• Resale, thrift and consignment shops screening what comes in
• Used-car dealers checking every vehicle on the lot
• Procurement and compliance teams checking supplier catalogs

Why this Actor

• Matches, not a firehose. Other recall scrapers return every recall. This returns only the ones that hit your catalog.
• Explained scores: exact UPC, brand match, product-name overlap, so you can see why each one matched.
• Three agencies in one run.
• Pay per match. If nothing in your catalog is recalled, the run costs almost nothing. Schedule it weekly.
