FDA Recalls Monitor — Drug, Device & Food Recalls → JSON (with stock tickers)

Search and monitor FDA enforcement recalls (drug, device, food) through the official openFDA API. No browser, no proxy: a public government API, so it's fast, reliable, and fully legal. Recall data is de-identified public enforcement information.

What it does

Query openFDA's enforcement datasets by category, keyword, status, and severity class, and get clean, flattened recall records — recall reason, recalling firm, classification, distribution, dates, and more.

Bonus: recalling firm → stock ticker

A recall is a market-moving event. When the recalling firm is a publicly-traded company, this actor maps it to its stock ticker + SEC CIK (via SEC's official company list, with a conservative match plus an alias table for big pharma like JNJ/PFE/ABBV). Most recallers are private or foreign generic makers (so ticker is often null) — but when it matches, you get a high-signal, ticker-tagged event. Turn it off with mapTickers: false.
