US Product Recalls Monitor (FDA, CPSC, NHTSA)

Monitor all new U.S. recalls in one feed: FDA food, drug and medical-device enforcement reports, CPSC consumer-product recalls and NHTSA vehicle and equipment recalls. Every row has the product, reason or hazard, company, classification, quantity, remedy and a link to the official notice.

What you can use it for

• Retailers and marketplaces: check whether products you sell were recalled.
• Brand and supply-chain risk monitoring.
• Lawyers and journalists: track recalls by company or hazard.
• Apps and newsletters that alert consumers.

How it works

The actor calls the official openFDA, SaferProducts.gov (CPSC) and data.transportation.gov (NHTSA) APIs and normalises them into one schema with a 'source' column.

Input example

{
  "sources": [
    "fda-food",
    "cpsc"
  ],
  "daysBack": 7,
  "keywords": [
    "listeria",
    "salmonella"
  ],
  "maxItems": 200
}

Every option is described in the Input tab. Set Max results to control how much you pay for.
