About Recall Radar
Recall Radar is a free public safety resource that brings official U.S. government recall data together in one place — so you can find what you need without navigating multiple government websites.
Why Recall Radar exists
In the United States, product recalls are issued by multiple separate government agencies — the FDA for food and drugs, NHTSA for vehicles, USDA for meat and poultry, and CPSC for consumer products. Each agency maintains its own database, its own search interface, and its own alert system. Keeping track of all of them is difficult for most people.
Recall Radar solves this by pulling all of those sources into a single, searchable feed. Whether you want to know if a food product in your pantry has been recalled, whether your car has a safety defect, or whether a toy you bought for your child poses a risk — you can find it here without knowing which government agency to look at first.
The site is designed to be fast, readable, and useful without requiring you to wade through government acronyms and regulatory language. Every recall links back to the official source so you can always verify the information and get the most current remediation instructions.
How it works
Every few hours, Recall Radar fetches the latest recall data from government RSS feeds and public APIs. The data is cached and displayed with minimal transformation — we do not rewrite, editorialize, or modify any recall information. Recall details, lot numbers, affected products, and remediation instructions come directly from the issuing agency.
Each recall page links prominently to the official government source so you can read the full notice, confirm lot numbers or model numbers, and find the manufacturer's contact information for remedies like refunds or free repairs.
Recalls are categorized by severity — Urgent for recalls involving a high risk of serious injury or death (Class I), and standard notices for Class II and Class III actions. The urgency classification is based on keywords in the recall description and should be used as a general indicator, not a substitute for reading the official notice.
Recall Radar is not affiliated with the FDA, NHTSA, USDA, or CPSC. For official recall information, always refer to the source links provided on each recall page.
