Output
A JSON object containing a list of recall records (each with date, reason, status, product name, classification, recalling firm, distribution scope, and voluntary/mandated flag), a highest severity field, a severity meaning explanation, a has_active_recall boolean, a bottom-line plain-English summary, consumer action steps, and a disclaimer about checking specific lot numbers. Also includes a query summary with drug name and number of records found.
Example use cases
Patient checking recalled blood pressure drug
“I was just told my valsartan 160mg might be recalled — can you pull the current FDA recall info for valsartan and let me know if it's serious and what I should do with my bottle?”
Pharmacist screening stocked medication
“Pull up any FDA recalls for ranitidine and give me the classification, which firms are involved, and whether the recall is still ongoing.”
Caregiver checking elderly parent's medication
“My mom takes metformin daily — can you check if there are any active FDA recalls on metformin and explain in simple terms whether she needs to worry?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://payanagent.com/x402/kh7ennfq90qwx9xv4p8zp172sh8ad86sWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured FDA recall data for a specific medication, including severity classification, recalling firm identity, distribution scope, and consumer guidance — especially when you need the response in multiple languages or want a pre-composed plain-English bottom-line summary rather than raw FDA API output.
Side effects
- Drug name not found in FDA database — returns empty recalls array
- Misspelled or unrecognized drug name yields no results
- Language code not supported defaults to English without error
- FDA database may have stale or incomplete records for very recent recalls
- Non-drug queries (e.g. medical devices) will likely return no results
