## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability consumer-product-recalls-search-cpsc-fda-food-b73eb337
```

Example prompt: Can you check if there are any recent CPSC or FDA food recalls for 'laminator' in the last 90 days — show me up to 5 results per source?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly check US consumer product or food safety recalls by keyword without building integrations against CPSC and openFDA separately. Ideal for product compliance checks, pre-purchase safety research, or automated recall monitoring. Note: does not cover NHTSA vehicle recalls or FDA drug/device recalls — use a different source for those.

## Known failure modes

- Keyword too short (under 3 chars) or too long (over 60 chars) returns a validation error
- No recalls found matching the keyword in the specified window returns empty arrays
- Upstream CPSC or openFDA API unavailability may cause partial or failed responses
- Invalid 'days' value outside 1–365 or 'limit' outside 1–10 returns a validation error
- Vehicle (NHTSA) and FDA drug/device recalls are not included and will not appear in results

## How this service works

Recent US recalls matching a keyword: CPSC consumer-product recalls (saferproducts.gov, by recall date and description text) and FDA food enforcement reports (openFDA, reason for recall). Vehicle (NHTSA) and FDA drug/device recalls are not included.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: matched CPSC recalls (URL, date, description, recall number), matched FDA food enforcement records, the checked timestamp, the CPSC date window used, and source URLs. Results are keyword-matched against recall text and limited per source as specified.
