Recall Alert & Safety News

Recall Alert tells you when something in your home is recalled- and helps you find out whether you own the recalled item. A recall notice describes a product; you are standing in your kitchen holding a box. So when available, recalls here show the government agency's photos of the recalled items, close-ups that show date code or serial number. If a barcode is provided, you can scan and check the product(s) in question. WHAT YOU GET • Recalls from the CPSC, the FDA and NHTSA in one feed • Photographs and label close-ups, so you can check what you own • Choose your categories- baby and kids, food, vehicles, home, drugs, medical devices and more • Alerts only for those categories, at the volume you pick: urgent only, all recalls, or a daily summary • Filter by what is actually wrong: peanut, milk and other allergens; listeria, salmonella and lead; fire, choking, tip-over • Alerts for an allergen anywhere, even outside the categories you follow • Search by brand, model or lot code • Scan a barcode • Works offline- the last recalls you downloaded stay readable WHAT IT CANNOT DO This is not a real-time service. Recalls appear once the agency publishes them and we fetch them, usually within half an hour, but that is not a guarantee. Coverage is not complete. Meat, poultry and egg recalls come from USDA FSIS, which we cannot currently reach, so they appear only when a news report covers them. Categories are sorted by software, so something will occasionally land in the wrong one. Not finding a product here does not mean it is safe. Barcodes are published for a small minority of recalls, so a scan that finds nothing is not an all-clear. Recall Alert is not affiliated with any government agency. Always follow the instructions in the official notice. The app is free, paid for by ads.
