## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability fda-enforcement-history-lookup-2cace82f
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the FDA enforcement history for Ranbaxy Laboratories — I want to see any warning letters, seizures, injunctions, consent decrees, and import refusals on record for them, especially for Drugs?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need deterministic, structured FDA enforcement data for a specific manufacturer — especially for supply chain due diligence, vendor risk assessments, or regulatory compliance checks. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, date-stamped enforcement records (warning letters, import refusals, etc.) tied to a specific FEI or firm, without LLM hallucination risk.

## Known failure modes

- Firm name resolves to no matching FEI — returns empty or ambiguous result
- FEI number not found in FDA records — returns 404 or empty response
- Firm has no enforcement history — returns empty actions array
- Ambiguous firm name matches multiple FEIs — may return first match or require disambiguation with state/country
- FDA source data temporarily unavailable — upstream fetch error
- Invalid product enum value — validation error returned

## How this service works

FDA enforcement history for a manufacturer from public FDA records. Give an FDA FEI number or firm name and get the compliance actions (warning letters, injunctions, seizures and consent decrees) plus the import refusals at the US border, each with its date and product. Deterministic, no LLM. Risk indicators, not legal or regulatory advice.

## Output

A structured JSON object listing all recorded FDA compliance actions (warning letters, injunctions, seizures, consent decrees) and US border import refusals associated with the queried manufacturer, each entry including the action date and product involved, plus risk indicator fields. No LLM inference — data is sourced deterministically from public FDA records.
