CPSC Product Recalls Scraper

🔎 CPSC product recalls for safety checks

Retailers, product-safety teams, and researchers can search official Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recall records. Get structured rows with recall identity, product details, hazards, injuries, remedies, source-reported contacts, and direct notice links for review or downstream work.

• Use Walmart recalls this week to review matching CPSC notices for a seller.
• Use Amazon product recall alert to check marketplace-related safety notices.
• Build a focused set with Product recall list for a safety review.
• Search Consumer Product Safety Commission when you need the agency's published details.
• Check Toy recalls when reviewing a product category.

📋 Structured CPSC recall records

Each dataset row is one structured recall record from the public CPSC source. It includes the official recall number, title, date, notice URL, product details, hazard, remedy, and other fields when the source reports them.

▶️ Search a date window or all available CPSC records

Add keywords, product names, retailers, or a recall date range, then run the Actor. Use calendar dates such as 2024-01-01 or relative values such as -30 days and now. Leave out dateRange to search all available dates.

Results are saved as structured records in the default dataset and can be read through the Apify API. Set maxItems when you want a run limit. If you leave maxItems empty, the Actor returns all available matching records until the source is exhausted.
