Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 sitecheck-api-us-product-recalls-search-2109d4da
```

Example prompt: Search FDA and CPSC recall records for any 'infant formula' recalls since January 1 2025, limit results to 20, and flag anything classified as Class I or high severity.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs structured, filterable recall data from official US regulatory sources (FDA and CPSC) without building a custom scraper. It is particularly useful for compliance checks, product safety monitoring, allergen risk assessment, or due-diligence workflows that require official government recall data with severity classification in a single pay-per-call API call with no signup required.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if keyword doesn't match any recall records in the date range
- Date range beyond one year returns an error or is clamped
- Invalid source value (not 'fda', 'cpsc', or 'fda,cpsc') may return an error
- Invalid classification value returns an error
- Limit outside 1-100 range may be rejected
- Payment failure via x402 if insufficient USDC balance

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for AI agents: image generation, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, embeddings, LLM chat, website audits and contact enrichment, web page to Markdown reader, PDF to text, sitemap URLs, tech stack detection, translation, exchange rates, e-mail pre-check, domain RDAP/DNS lookup, Solana token checks, trending tokens and wallet holdings, plus business and compliance data (EU VAT/VIES, IBAN, LEI/GLEIF, US recalls, OSHA/EPA violations, UK insolvency notices). Plus prediction-market search, briefs, quotes and unsigned buy transactions, powered by Panta. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana or Arc. No signup, no API key.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the query parameters used, total matching recall records, and an array of recall entries each with fields: id, date, firm, product, category, reason, classification, severity, status, initiated date, distribution scope, nationwide flag, source, and a link to the official recall notice. Also includes source attribution notes and a severity mapping explanation.
