CPSC Recalls Scraper pulls consumer product recall records from SaferProducts.gov. Each record includes the recall title, date, product name, hazard description, remedy instructions, number of units affected, manufacturer names, countries of origin, retailer names, UPC codes, and image URLs. You can filter by date range and search by keyword to find recalls related to specific products or hazard types.

Retailers use this to monitor recalls daily and pull affected products from shelves. Compliance teams build audit-ready databases of recalls in their product categories. Insurance professionals assess product liability exposure. Journalists and consumer advocates track safety trends. If you need recall data in a structured format instead of browsing HTML pages one at a time, this actor delivers it in seconds.

Target	U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
Use Cases	Product safety monitoring, retail compliance, liability assessment, consumer advocacy

📋 What it does

• ⚠️ Recall details. Full descriptions, hazard types, and injury reports for every recalled product.
• 🏭 Manufacturer data. Company names and countries of origin for tracing supply chain exposure.
• 🏪 Retailer information. Which stores and distributors sold the recalled products.
• 🔧 Remedy instructions. What consumers should do: refund, repair, replacement, or disposal.
• 🔍 Search and filter. Narrow results by date range and keyword to find exactly what you need.

Each record gives you 25+ fields covering the full recall lifecycle: what was recalled, why, how many units, who made it, who sold it, and what consumers should do about it.

💡 Why it matters: The CPSC publishes hundreds of recalls per year. Manually checking the website daily and copying data into spreadsheets is slow and error-prone. This actor automates the entire process and delivers clean, structured records.

⚠️ Good to Know: The SaferProducts.gov database contains thousands of recalls going back many years. The default date range covers the last 12 months. Expand the range by setting an earlier dateFrom value.
