record and matching

Understand what one result represents

Eight official sources publish different identifiers, classifications, dates, product descriptions, hazards, remedies, and access methods; this layer normalizes them for historical research, not live recall monitoring.

Eight sources, one notice contract

Search CPSC, EU Safety Gate, Health Canada, UK OPSS, ACCC, and RappelConso records while preserving strict-recall classification, jurisdiction, source date, products, hazards, remedies, and provenance where available.

Historical research, not live recall monitoring

Use the evaluation bundle, coverage definitions, release freshness, source catalogue, and field caveats to test the eight-source historical contract. Taiwan BSMI is checked as a current register; Tukes is explicitly limited to its byte-pinned 2006-2022 historical artifact. Guaranteed detection and food, drug, vehicle, agriculture, or unlisted authorities require other systems.

limitations

Know the limits before purchase

The API is not a complete global recall service and excludes major food, drug, vehicle, agriculture, and unlisted authority sources.

This is a historical research API, not a live alerting or guaranteed recall-detection service; verify current authority records before operational action.

Not legal, product-safety, recall-response, or regulatory-compliance advice.

Not a live alert, continuous monitoring, or guaranteed recall-detection service.

Not complete coverage of food, drug, vehicle, agriculture, or every global recall authority.

Not an official service of CPSC, the European Commission, Health Canada, OPSS, or ACCC.
