Recalls are as the agencies published them: the CPSC, FDA (food enforcement reports) and NHTSA. A firm is one firm only when its exact name and country match; the CPSC and FDA print no firm ID. Stores are listed only when the agency's sold-at text names them, and an agency often adds that more stores sold the product.
