About RecallRadar
Empowering consumers with real-time product safety alerts
Our Mission
RecallRadar exists to help consumers stay informed about product safety. Every day, government agencies issue recalls for products that may pose health or safety risks. Our mission is to make this critical information accessible, searchable, and actionable for families across the country.
We aggregate recall data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide a comprehensive view of product recalls in one place. Our goal is to bridge the gap between government recall announcements and the consumers who need to know about them.

Food products, medications, medical devices, cosmetics, and dietary supplements. The FDA regulates products that account for about 25% of consumer spending in the United States.
