A high recall count does not necessarily indicate that a company is unsafe. Larger companies that produce thousands of products across multiple categories will statistically appear in recall databases more frequently. Data sourced from FDA openFDA and CPSC public databases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Medical device manufacturers often top the list because the FDA requires recalls for even minor issues like labeling corrections or software updates. A single manufacturer may produce thousands of different devices, and each individual product issue generates a separate recall record. This does not necessarily mean the products are dangerous.

Companies are ranked by their total number of recall actions across all categories (food, drug, device, and consumer product). Each recall enforcement action from the FDA or CPSC counts as one record. The total is the sum of all categories combined.
