Recall Check

What Recall Check is for

"Has this been recalled?", "any recalls for infant walkers?", "what's been recalled for a fire hazard lately?", "pull up recall number 26721" — a live lookup against the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's own public recall database, not a hand-curated list that goes stale.

What it does

search_recalls_by_product, search_recalls_by_title, search_recalls_by_hazard, and search_recalls_by_manufacturer each run a live, case-insensitive substring search against one field of CPSC's saferproducts.gov Recall Retrieval Web Service (product name, recall title, hazard description, or manufacturer/importer/distributor name), narrowed to a lookback window in days. search_recalls_by_upc looks up recalls tagged with a specific UPC/barcode. get_recall_by_number fetches one exact recall by its CPSC recall number. recent_recalls browses the newest recalls with no keyword. advanced_recall_search combines any number of CPSC's documented fields at once (AND'd together) for a sharper query, and list_supported_search_fields lists every field the CPSC service documents.

Every result is a genuine upstream API call to the real, public, keyless CPSC service — nothing here is invented, pre-baked, or a static snapshot. Results are cached in memory for 30 minutes purely to be polite to the upstream; a search returning nothing means CPSC's own database currently has no matching recall for those terms, not that the tool doesn't know.

A note on hazard search

CPSC documents a Hazard field, but in practice it filters an internal categorical tag that is essentially unpopulated on current records — searching it directly returns nothing even for hazards that are clearly described in a recall's text. search_recalls_by_hazard instead searches the recall's description text, which reliably contains the actual hazard language ("fall hazard," "fire hazard," "laceration hazard," …) and returns real matches. list_supported_search_fields still lists CPSC's raw field names as documented, in case a caller wants to build a query against them directly with advanced_recall_search.

What it is not

This is U.S. CPSC data only — recalls administered by other agencies (NHTSA for vehicles and car seats, FDA/USDA for food, the FDA for drugs and medical devices) are out of scope. CPSC has a UPC on file for only a minority of recalls, so a UPC search returning nothing does not mean a product is safe; searching by product name or title is more reliable. This is not legal advice about your rights or remedies — for a specific recall, follow the remedy instructions CPSC and the manufacturer publish.

Recall Check — Privacy Policy

Effective 26 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Recall Check is. Recall Check is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf to search official U.S. product recall data. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the specific search terms needed: a product name, recall title keyword, hazard keyword, manufacturer name, UPC, or recall number.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant, your name, contacts, or account credentials for any service. Tool inputs and outputs — including the product names, keywords, or UPCs you search for — are processed in memory for the single request that carries them and are not stored. We do not build a profile of what you search for. Successful upstream responses are cached in memory for up to 30 minutes, keyed only by the search terms, to reduce load on CPSC's service; this cache is not tied to you and expires automatically. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processor. To answer a search, we forward only the search terms (never anything that identifies you) to: - U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (saferproducts.gov Recall Retrieval Web Service) — a public, keyless, no-authentication U.S. government API. The request carries the search terms only. - Vercel — hosting infrastructure (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. For users in California, the EU/UK and elsewhere, our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Recall Check is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant. No information about a child is collected or stored.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.

Recall Check — Terms of Service

Effective 26 September 2026. These terms govern use of the Recall Check connector ("the Service") operated by Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us").

1. The Service. Recall Check searches the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's public, keyless Recall Retrieval Web Service (saferproducts.gov) and returns matching recalls. It is accessed through an AI assistant or directly over MCP or HTTP.
2. Not legal or safety advice. Recall Check reports what CPSC's database currently contains; it does not evaluate your specific product, tell you whether an item you own is affected, or advise you on legal remedies. For a specific recall's remedy (refund, repair, replacement) and eligibility, follow the instructions published by CPSC and the manufacturer at cpsc.gov and the recall's own listing.
3. Coverage and limits. This Service covers only recalls administered by CPSC (consumer products) — it does not cover vehicles or car seats (NHTSA), food (FDA/USDA), or drugs and medical devices (FDA). CPSC has a UPC on file for only a minority of recalls, so a UPC search returning no result does not mean a product has not been recalled; search by product name as well. A search returning nothing means CPSC's database currently has no match for those terms, not a guarantee of safety.
4. Freshness. Data is fetched live from CPSC on every search and cached in memory for at most 30 minutes; it reflects CPSC's database at the time of the request, not a periodically refreshed snapshot.
5. Data licence. CPSC recall data is a U.S. government work and is in the public domain. Respect CPSC's own terms of use when reusing output.
6. Acceptable use. Do not use the Service to bulk-copy CPSC's database, to overwhelm the underlying service, or to circumvent rate limits. Automated use within the published limits is welcome.
7. Availability. The Service depends on a third-party government data source and is provided "as is" without warranty. We may change, limit or discontinue it at any time. When CPSC is unavailable the Service says so rather than guessing or returning stale data as current.
8. Data. Our Privacy Policy describes what we process. In short: nothing about you is stored.
9. Pro keys. Optional Pro API keys are issued at our discretion, are personal to the holder and may be revoked for abuse.
10. Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unify Dynamics LLC is not liable for any loss arising from use of or reliance on the Service, including reliance on recall search results being complete or current. Our total liability is limited to US $100.
11. Governing law. California law; venue in San Mateo County, California.
