# Check a product list for CPSC and EU Safety Gate recalls

**Use case:** 

Checks three sample products, a ceiling fan, a plush toy and a gaming mouse, against US CPSC recalls and EU Safety Gate alerts by barcode, brand and model, and returns a clear result for each with the matching recall evidence or a no-recall row. Replace them with your own catalogue rows, and schedule it to hear about new recalls.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/subtleasianmerch/product-recall-matcher.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
