Product Recalls API: CPSC, FDA & Health Canada

Consumer product, food, drug and medical device recalls from US CPSC, US FDA and Health Canada in one feed: product, reason, class, firm, dates, UPCs. $1.50 per 1,000 recalls.

Collect consumer product, food, drug and medical device recall data from the public official CPSC, FDA and Health Canada sources in one consistent feed. Filter recalls by date, keywords or FDA classification, then export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Recalls are published by several agencies in different formats. This Actor reads the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the FDA's food, drug and device enforcement reports and Health Canada's recalls database, and returns them as one consistent table.

Quick start

1. Press Start. The form is already filled with this example input, so the first run returns real rows in under a minute:

}

2. Swap in your own values, or call the Actor through the Apify API, Make, Zapier, n8n or the Python/JS clients with the same JSON.
3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Output tab, or schedule the run to repeat.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the official CPSC Recalls API (saferproducts.gov), openFDA enforcement endpoints (api.fda.gov) and Health Canada's Recalls and Safety Alerts open data, all public.

Is any personal data included? Recalls are about products and companies. Consumer reports and contact details are not read. If an FDA recalling firm name looks like a private person (a sole trader), the firm name and city are withheld.

How fresh is it? Live. CPSC and Health Canada publish daily; FDA enforcement reports are updated weekly.

Can I get only new records each day? Yes. Use the date window input and schedule the Actor; each run returns what is new in that window.

Which fields do keyword searches match? Keywords match the product, title and reason fields.

Do I need an openFDA API key? No. A free key is optional for higher FDA rate limits and is not needed for normal runs.

Can I limit how many recalls are saved? Yes. Set a maximum per source or a maximum for all saved recalls. A value of 0 means no cap.

Is it legal?

This Actor only reads official open-data APIs that the publisher offers to everyone without a login or key. It obeys robots.txt, stays under the published rate limits, and never tries to get past logins, paywalls, captchas or bot checks. Recalls are about products and companies. Consumer reports and contact details are not read. If an FDA recalling firm name looks like a private person (a sole trader), the firm name and city are withheld. You are responsible for how you use the data: follow the source's licence and terms and the privacy and marketing laws that apply to you (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, PECR, etc.). This tool is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the data publisher.
