Desk
Every FDA, USDA, CPSC and NHTSA recall as a structured page: the product, lots and UPCs, the states, the hazard, the remedy and how to get a refund or repair.
This desk reads the four federal recall systems every day: the FDA for food, drugs and devices, the CPSC for household products, NHTSA for vehicles and FSIS for meat and poultry. The live recall index carries the newest items from all four, vehicle recalls lists every car, SUV and pickup campaign with a free VIN check, and food recalls holds the current Class I list. Makes and retailers with enough recalls to need their own page have one: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Walmart.
