## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic lookup of a manufacturer's FDA compliance and enforcement history from public records. It is ideal for supply chain risk screening, supplier onboarding due diligence, import compliance checks, and regulatory audit preparation. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured, date-stamped enforcement data across warning letters, injunctions, seizures, consent decrees, and import refusals without hallucination risk.

## Known failure modes

- Firm name not found in FDA records — try providing the FEI number directly
- FEI number invalid or not recognized — verify the 10-digit FEI format
- No enforcement actions found — firm may have a clean record or be too small to appear in public data
- Ambiguous firm name matching multiple entities — add state or country filter to narrow results
- FDA data may have a lag and recent actions may not yet appear

## 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 record containing: (1) compliance actions listing type (warning letter, injunction, seizure, consent decree), date, and product involved; (2) import refusals listing date, product, and refusal reason — all sourced from public FDA records. Results are deterministic and non-AI-generated. Includes risk indicators only; not legal or regulatory advice.
