Less fragmentation. More clarity.

A single recall question can cross multiple agencies and product categories. The traditional workflow below is illustrative; the briefing alongside it is an actual output.

TRADITIONAL WORKFLOW · ILLUSTRATIVE

Check four feeds. Reconcile by hand.

Look up consumer products, drugs, food, and devices separately, then align dates, recall reasons, firms, and risk classes.

RECALL BRIEFING · SEP 16, 2026

One request. A unified view.

This run displays eight records—two per category—with source status and FDA classifications kept in context.

Actual English product recall briefing covering four categories

Built around the work a recall briefing needs to do.

Source coverage, focused retrieval, clear classification, and details you can check. No invented certainty where the source has none.

01

Four sources, one structure

Bring CPSC consumer-product recalls and openFDA drug, food, and device records into consistent fields, with source status visible.

02

Focused queries

Set category, date range, and result limit. In the tablets example, keyword filtering targets openFDA drug records—not CPSC.

03

Risk classes with context

Retain FDA Class I / II / III and count classes among displayed records. CPSC entries remain unclassified under the FDA scheme.

04

Details you can trace

See the reason, firm, date, and recall number. CPSC retains its notice link; openFDA records use recall numbers rather than invented per-record URLs.

A straightforward path from question to record.

Define the scope, read the briefing, and return to official records when a model, lot, or action matters.

01

Set the scope

Choose all categories or one, then set the date window and number of records to display. Add a keyword where supported. Dates default to the past 30 days.

02

Query public sources

The selected CPSC or openFDA endpoints are queried. The status of each queried source remains visible.

03

Normalize and organize

Different response formats become a common record structure. Multi-category results rotate across sources instead of letting one fill the page.

04

Review and verify

Read the list and category or FDA-class counts, then use the CPSC notice or FDA recall number to confirm details.

From routine scans to specific questions.

The 30-day window returned 193 device records. The five shown are all Class II; that count is not a breakdown of the full 193.

Trust starts with clear boundaries.

The briefing carries public-source data forward while preserving what a source does—and does not—provide.

Visible source status

Every query identifies which selected sources were available. All four responded in the cross-category example shown here.

No inferred class or link

CPSC records are not assigned FDA classes. Where openFDA has no per-record notice URL, the recall number remains the reference.

Official records remain primary

A briefing helps locate and understand recalls; it is not exhaustive or a substitute for CPSC or FDA notices, or medical, legal, or safety advice.

For teams that need to understand recall data.

Quality and regulatory

Scope public recall records by category, date, and identifier before checking official details.

Procurement and supply chain

Spot products, firms, and recall reasons that warrant closer review.

Research and product teams

Read category distribution and FDA classes in the context of a single briefing.

Start with a specific question.
