Frequently Asked Questions

A high number of recalls does not necessarily indicate that a company is unsafe. Large manufacturers that produce thousands of products across multiple categories will statistically appear in recall databases more frequently. What matters more is the severity of each recall (Class I being the most serious), the speed of response, and whether the company proactively identified and addressed the issue. Companies with robust safety programs often catch problems earlier.

Food, drug, and medical device recall data comes from the FDA's openFDA enforcement database, which contains all FDA enforcement reports. Consumer product recall data comes from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Both sources are public government databases that are updated regularly. RecallCheck aggregates these sources to provide a unified view of a company's recall history.

The FDA classifies recalls into three categories. Class I is the most serious — there is a reasonable probability that use of or exposure to the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. Class II means the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems, or the probability of serious consequences is remote. Class III is the least serious — the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. CPSC product recalls do not use this classification system.
