Export CPSC consumer product recalls without an API key

Search brands, products, hazards, remedies, or the complete recall record. Each result keeps the official notice link and structured product and company details for careful catalog matching.

Limitations

CPSC coverage excludes vehicles, food, drugs, and medical devices handled by other agencies. Older notices may omit UPCs, quantities, companies, images, or structured remedies. Search matching follows fields exposed by the source. Confirm removal, notification, legal, and safety decisions against the full current notice.

Compared to alternatives

Compared with parseforge/cpsc-recalls-scraper, this Actor supports multiple terms and preserves both nested source records and spreadsheet-friendly fields. Compared with maydit/us-product-recalls-scraper, it starts with a tightly bounded date and result default for scheduled tests. Store pricing and features can change.
