CPSC Product Recalls Scraper

This CPSC scraper collects US consumer product recalls from the Consumer Product Safety Commission and returns the full record for each one. Search by keyword, product, company or date and get the hazard, the remedy, injuries reported, how many units were sold, who made, imported, distributed and sold the product, the country of manufacture and the recall photos.

Retailers, brands, insurers, product safety teams, lawyers and parents' groups use it to monitor recalls in their category without checking the CPSC website every week.

How much does it cost to scrape CPSC recalls?

You pay per result: $18 per 1,000 recalls plus a tiny start fee. The free plan returns up to 10 recalls per run.

Good to know

• Search terms match recall titles, so a specific word works better than a broad one.
• Some lists, such as manufacturers or importers, can be empty when the CPSC did not publish them for that recall.
• Dates are the recall date published by the CPSC.

Who uses product recall data?

• Retailers and marketplaces check listings against new recalls.
• Brands watch competitors' recalls and category trends.
• Insurers and lawyers research hazards and injury patterns.
• Consumer groups and journalists publish alerts for parents and shoppers.

Monitoring ideas

• Weekly alert for recalls that mention your product category
• All recalls for a competitor, whether they made, imported, distributed or sold the item
• Recalls sold through one retailer, to check your own catalog
• Recalls with reported injuries, for risk and insurance research

When you search by company, the Actor checks the company as manufacturer, retailer, importer and distributor, and merges the results without duplicates.

Automate and connect
