Frequently Asked Questions
All statistics are derived from two primary data sources: the FDA's openFDA enforcement database (food, drug, and medical device recalls) and the CPSC's public recall database (consumer products). Company names are matched using case-insensitive comparison across all databases.
The FDA regulates a very wide range of medical devices, from simple bandages to complex surgical robots. Device recalls include everything from minor labeling updates to serious safety issues. Additionally, the medical device industry has a large number of manufacturers, and the FDA requires recalls for regulatory compliance issues that may not pose direct health risks.
