Recalls by month

Counts of the records on this site, by the month in the agency record, for the last three years.

How the monthly counts are made

U.S. counts are recall events (an FDA event with several products counts once; the company announcements FDA posts are not counted, so a month page, which lists them, can show more); "Class I, do-not-drive or death reported (U.S.)" counts the events that are an FDA or USDA FSIS Class I recall, a vehicle do-not-drive or park-outside advisory, or a CPSC record whose incidents field reports a death. Canada, UK and EU counts are notices: Canada by the month a notice was last updated (Health Canada gives no recall date), the UK by the notice date, the EU by the weekly report date. Updated Nov. 12, 2026.
