How this service works
US federal product recall and safety data for AI agents: CPSC consumer product recalls, FDA food/drug/device enforcement actions, USDA FSIS meat/poultry/egg recalls and public health alerts, and NHTSA vehicle safety campaigns. Search by product, firm/company name, date range, or source; look up by UPC/barcode or by native recall/campaign number. Every record carries full provenance (source, source URL, fetched-at, record hash) and every response includes as_of freshness — built for agent-driven verification and compliance workflows.
Output
Returns structured recall record(s) matching the provided UPC, including recall number, product description, firm/company name, recall reason, recall date, source agency (CPSC, FDA, USDA FSIS, or NHTSA), source URL, record hash for provenance, and an as_of freshness timestamp indicating when the data was last fetched. Currently CPSC-backed with partial UPC coverage.
Example use cases
Grocery shelf safety scan
“I'm at the store and want to know if UPC 0 41196 00086 2 has ever been recalled or flagged by the FDA or USDA — can you check before I buy it?”
E-commerce listing compliance check
“Before we list this product on our marketplace, can you verify whether UPC 8 00116 00011 1 has any active or historical CPSC recall or federal safety action against it?”
Home product safety audit
“I found an old kids' toy with barcode 0 74108 73748 0 in our garage — can you pull any recall records tied to that UPC so I know if it's safe to keep?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://recalls.recordsforagents.com/by-upc/:upcWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a specific UPC or barcode and need to check it against US federal recall databases in a single call. It is the most direct path for barcode-driven product safety verification — ideal for point-of-sale agents, e-commerce compliance workflows, or consumer safety apps that scan product barcodes. Prefer the search endpoint if you don't have a UPC but know the product name or manufacturer.
Side effects
- UPC not found in any recall database — returns empty result set
- UPC exists but has no associated recall records — returns empty with valid as_of
- Malformed or invalid UPC format — may return 400 or empty result
- UPC coverage limited to CPSC-backed records; FDA/USDA/NHTSA may not be UPC-indexed
- Upstream federal source temporarily unavailable — stale or error response
