Set up recall alerts →Why plain-English recalls matter
Government recall notices are written for compliance, not for shoppers. A typical FDA enforcement report identifies a product by its 21 CFR regulatory citation, the firm’s establishment number, the drug’s NDC code, and a one-line hazard description in regulatory shorthand. NHTSA notices use the NHTSA Campaign Number and reference Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards by number. None of that helps you decide whether the bag of spinach in your fridge or the car parked in your driveway is the one being recalled.
We translate every notice into a one-paragraph summary that tells you what the product is, what the hazard is, who’s at risk, and what to do. The full agency notice is one click away on every recall page, and the raw source data — UPC codes, lot numbers, distribution states, establishment numbers — is preserved verbatim so you can verify a recall against the product in front of you.
How we score severity
Every recall is scored 1 to 5 against objective criteria — agency classification, documented injuries or deaths, distribution scope, and hazard type. If the agency classified the recall Class I or if deaths are reported in the source text, the score is at least 4 regardless of other factors. If the source text explicitly says no illnesses have been reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is capped at 3. Our reasoning is shown on every recall page in the “why this score” block. The methodology page has the full rubric.
