About RecallCheckr

Hi, I'm Maya Ellison. RecallCheckr started with a small, frustrating moment. I wanted to know whether a car seat in my family was part of a recall, and the answer was scattered across three different government websites, each with its own search box and its own way of hiding the thing I actually needed to know.

The information was all public. It just was not usable. So I built the tool I wished existed: one place where you can type a product, a brand, or a category and see, in plain English, whether it has been recalled and what to do about it.

How it works

Every day, RecallCheckr pulls new recalls from three U.S. agencies, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. We organize them, label how serious each one is, and link back to the official notice on every page. We do not write the recalls ourselves, and we present the agencies' wording as it is published.

What we believe

Safety information should be easy to find and easy to read. You should not need to know which agency regulates which product to find out if something in your home is dangerous. And you should always be one click away from the official source, so you can verify anything for yourself.
