RecallLens

Searches US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalls of consumer products such as toys, cribs, strollers, furniture, heaters, e-bikes, batteries and appliances, newest first. Keywords (every word must appear) are matched against the recall title, product names, models and types, description, hazard, firm and retailer names, and UPCs; a CPSC recall number also works. Optional recall-date range. Returns recall number, date, title, products, units, hazard, remedy and the cpsc.gov link. Does not cover vehicles, food, drugs, cosmetics or medical devices.

Searches FDA recall enforcement reports published through openFDA for food, drugs and medical devices, newest report date first. Optional filters: keywords (every word must appear in the product description, reason for recall, recalling firm or lot/code information; "quoted phrases" are kept together), product type, classification (Class I, II or III), status and report-date range. Returns recall number, class, status, firm, product, reason, distribution, dates and a link to the openFDA record. The data is FDA's weekly Enforcement Report (2012 onward), which can lag FDA's recall announcements.

Returns one NHTSA recall campaign by its campaign number (e.g. 20V314000, 20V-314 or 23C001): manufacturer, report date, component, summary, consequence, remedy, potential number of units affected, advisories, and the makes, models and model years it covers. Works for vehicle (V), equipment (E), tire (T) and child seat (C) campaigns.

Lists NHTSA safety recall campaigns for a US-market vehicle by make, model and model year, newest first: campaign number, report date, component, a short defect summary, the safety risk, the remedy, any "do not drive" or "park outside" advisory, and a link to the NHTSA recall page. If the model name does not match NHTSA's naming, it returns the closest NHTSA model names for that make and year. It covers campaigns issued for the model, not whether a specific vehicle has been repaired.

Checks a 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN): validates its check digit, decodes make, model and model year with NHTSA's vPIC service (only the first 11 characters are sent, or 14 for low-volume manufacturers; never the serial number), then lists the NHTSA safety recall campaigns issued for that make, model and year, with the same fields as vehicle_recalls. It does not confirm whether this specific vehicle is included in a campaign or has been repaired; NHTSA's own VIN lookup at nhtsa.gov/recalls is the official source for that.
