## 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 forgemesh-consumer-product-recalls-api-914cb152 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if there are any CPSC safety recalls for hoverboards — show me up to 10 results including the hazards, injuries, and what remedy is being offered?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable CPSC recall data for a specific product keyword, especially in commerce, resale, or compliance workflows. It is ideal when you need hazard details, injury counts, remedy options, and official notice URLs in a single JSON response without scraping CPSC.gov. Prefer it over web search when you need reliable, filterable, dated recall records for automation or agent pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Query string shorter than 3 characters returns a validation error
- No recalls match the keyword — returns empty recalls array with matched: 0
- Invalid ISO date format for 'since' parameter causes a 400 error
- Limit exceeding 25 results in a validation rejection
- Downstream CPSC data source unavailable may cause a 503 or timeout
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request before processing

## How this service works

Official US consumer product safety recalls as structured JSON: search by product keyword and get each recall's hazard, reported injuries, affected product names and models, remedy, date, and notice URL, sorted newest first. Built for commerce, resale-marketplace, and product-research agents.

## Output

A JSON object containing the original query, total matched recall count, and an array of recall records each with: CPSC recall number, date, title, hazard categories, injury reports, affected product names/types/models, available remedies, and a direct URL to the official CPSC recall notice. Results are sorted newest first and capped by the requested limit (max 25).
