Recall Radar watches every product safety database in the United States and Europe, matches new alerts against the things you own, sell or operate — and gives you a dated record proving you checked. Because "we didn't know" is not a defence.
Consumer recall apps tell you about your groceries. That's useful. It is not the same as being the person who has to answer for it.
The CPSC issued 3,981 takedown requests for a single recalled infant sleeper in 13 months — roughly ten a day. The obligation to know sits with the seller, and no thrift store, flipper or marketplace seller has a tool for it.
Baby and children's products are the single largest recall category — sleep products and toys are about a quarter each. Providers are checking by hand, or not at all, and an inspector can ask at any time.
Space heaters, dehumidifiers, dressers, cribs, chargers. The landlord or operator carries the liability long after the manufacturer has posted the notice and moved on.
CPAPs, pumps, monitors, implants. The recall notice goes to the purchasing entity — not to whoever is using the device on a ward three years later.
Most alerts on the EU Safety Gate name a country of origin that isn't the country raising the alarm. Enterprise compliance suites cover this and cost more than a small importer's insurance.
The alert isn't the product. The product is the answer to "can you show me you checked?"
Point the camera at a whole shelf or cart. Every barcode in frame is read at once and outlined in place — red for recalled, green for clear. Add the lot to your register in one tap.
Barcodes, product names, VINs, medicines, devices. Bulk-import a stock list. This is the part that makes the alerts about you instead of about the world.
A live global map of alerts as they're issued, with the country of origin traced to the country that raised the alarm — and product photos on most of them.
Every match becomes an item to clear: quarantined, resolved, or reviewed and judged not to apply. A finding with no recorded action is an open liability, and it stays visible until it isn't.
One click gives a dated document: these items, these databases, this timestamp, these findings, this is what we did. Carries an integrity digest. Exports as a document or a spreadsheet.
Auto-drafted posts for every critical alert, in the agency's own wording, with front-matter ready for your CMS. Retailers and associations use these to warn their own customers.
Consumer recall apps are crowded and mostly free. Enterprise compliance suites are excellent and priced for procurement departments. The gap is the operator in the middle who carries real liability and has no budget for either.

Named honestly: Yuka (85M users) already flags FDA food and cosmetic recalls on scan and emails people who scanned a recalled item — it is excellent and free, and it does not cover CPSC, vehicles, medical devices or Europe. RecallSentry and RecallScope aggregate government feeds for consumers. SGS Digicomply, Decernis and Compliance & Risks serve large manufacturers properly and are priced accordingly.
A single CPSC civil penalty starts in the tens of thousands. A failed childcare inspection closes a room.
Every safety tool should tell you where it stops. Here is where this one does.
Open the console. It runs on real government feeds, right now, with nothing simulated.
