FDA food drug or medical device recall or CPSC consumer product safety recall announced in the past month
Retailers and distributors use it to identify recalled products in their supply chain before consumer complaints arise. Regulatory affairs and quality teams at food, pharma, and consumer goods companies use it to benchmark recall frequency and monitor competitor compliance events. Product liability and insurance teams use it as a structured record of confirmed recall actions. Food safety journalists and consumer advocacy organisations track recall activity through it.

<h3>What is the difference between this and the FDA's own recall Tracker?</h3><p>The FDA recall Tracker is comprehensive but presented in formats that are difficult to query programmatically and updated with delays. CatchAll structures confirmed recalls as events with enriched fields for product category, risk class, and recalling company.</p><h3>Are voluntary and mandatory recalls both included?</h3><p>Yes. Company-initiated voluntary recalls and FDA-mandated recalls are both included and distinguished by recall classification.</p><h3>Does the dataset cover recalls outside the US?</h3><p>The primary focus is US FDA and CPSC recalls. International recall data (Health Canada, EFSA) is not included in this edition.</p><h3>What is the refresh rate of this dataset?</h3><p>We rerun this dataset once a month. You can create your own dataset that updates as frequently as every one hour on <a href="https://platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall">platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall</a></p>
