Methodology
How RecallWatch reports FDA recalls
- Every record comes from the U.S. FDA's official openFDA device enforcement reports, enriched with the FDA's recall (RES) records — root cause, device classification, and firm actions.
- The database syncs with the FDA every six hours. Recalls appear here as soon as the FDA posts them — severity-first, with the affected lots and codes made searchable.
- RecallWatch is independent and not affiliated with the U.S. FDA. Read our editorial policy and methodology. Do not rely on this site to make decisions regarding medical care — always speak with your health provider about the risks and benefits of FDA-regulated products, and verify against the FDA's official record before acting.
