Where each agency publishes its recalls
Updated August 20, 2019. Read from U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall data. Public domain (U.S. government work). 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. Categories are grouped by SpecStream from the words in the agency's title and product text. Free to reuse with credit to SpecStream under CC BY 4.0. Spot a wrong value?
