How It Works
My Recall Buddy monitors official government recall sources 24/7 to keep you informed about product safety issues that matter to your family.
Our Data Sources
We pull recall information directly from five official U.S. government agencies:
CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission)
Consumer products including toys, baby products, home goods, appliances, electronics, and more.
NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
Vehicle recalls including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and automotive parts.
FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
Official enforcement reports for food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics with classified recall levels (Class I/II/III).
FDA Safety Alerts
Real-time FDA press releases and safety announcements that appear before official classification.
USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture)
Meat, poultry, and egg product recalls.

Our Commitment to Accuracy
We are not a government agency. My Recall Buddy is an independent service that aggregates publicly available recall data from official government sources.
While we strive for accuracy and timeliness, we always recommend verifying recall information directly with the official government source or the manufacturer.
All recall detail pages include direct links to the official government notices so you can access authoritative information.
Database Coverage
Our database includes comprehensive recall tracking from January 1, 2025 forward, with automated daily updates ensuring you never miss important safety information.
Starting October 1, 2025, we enhanced our service with AI-powered insights that provide simplified summaries and clear guidance for every new recall, making it easier to quickly understand what actions you need to take.
