Stay ahead of product recalls
Thousands of potentially unsafe products are recalled every year. Recall Radar checks each one against your household and tells you only about the ones that affect you.
Get Relevant Recall Notices
No spam, only critical recalls.
What Recall Radar watches for you
Five categories, covering nearly everything your family eats, uses and takes.
Food
Contamination, undeclared allergens and mislabeling in groceries, snacks, produce and drinks.
Pet food
Kibble, wet food and treats recalled for bacteria, toxins or nutrient problems.
Children's products
Cribs, car seats, strollers, toys and baby food with safety hazards.
Consumer products
Household goods, appliances and gear with fire, injury or chemical risks.
Medications & devices
Prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, supplements and medical devices.
When we buy something, we assume it's safe
Unfortunately, thousands of recalls happen every year and most of us are never notified. Recalled products can cause temporary sickness, permanent harm, and even death. Recall Radar identifies the recalls that matter to your household and sends them to you in an easy-to-digest format.

One profile for everyone under your roof
A peanut recall matters to one child, not the whole family. A kibble recall matters to your dog. Recall Radar keeps track of each person and pet separately, so every alert tells you exactly who it affects.

How It Works
Our process is as easy as 1-2-3.
Create your profile
A simple survey — takes less than 10 minutes — covers your food, pets, kids, and medications.
We scan for you
Our algorithms continuously scan hundreds of sources to catch product recalls and safety notices.
Get what's relevant
We identify the recalls that match your household and email you an easy-to-read summary.
Why not just check recall websites?
You can. Recalls are published by several different agencies, each with its own site and format. Here's what Recall Radar does differently.
| Feature | Checking yourself | Recall Radar |
|---|---|---|
| Food, pet food, kids' products, consumer products and medications in one place | No | Yes |
| Checks recalls against each person and pet in your home | No | Yes |
| Filters out recalls that don't apply to you | No | Yes |
| Plain-language summary with what to do next | No | Yes |
| No need to remember to check websites | No | Yes |
Who Recall Radar Helps
Our dog, Jimmy, is our best friend. Ensuring his food and toys are safe, given all of the pet recalls we hear about, is our priority.

Pet owners
My kids have nut allergies and I need to keep them safe by monitoring when products change their labels and disclose new allergy information that I never knew about.

We are managing high blood pressure and diabetes. Knowing which medications and medical devices have been recalled keeps us safe.

Questions, answered
What does Recall Radar actually send me?
Short, plain-language email summaries of recalls that match your household: what the product is, what the problem is, how to tell if yours is affected, and what to do next. Recalls that don't match your profile stay out of your inbox.
How is this different from signing up for government recall emails?
Agency lists send every recall in a category, so you still have to read each one and decide if it applies to you. Recall Radar compares each recall against the profile you build — the people, pets, medications and products in your home — and only sends what's relevant.
How long does the profile take?
Less than 10 minutes. It covers your food preferences and allergies, pets, kids' products and medications. You can come back and update it any time your household changes.
Can I include my pets, kids and parents?
Yes. The profile is built around your whole household, so allergies, medications and products are tracked for each person and pet you add.
Will you sell my information?
No. Your profile is used to match recalls to your household. See our Privacy Policy for the details of what we collect and how it's protected.
How much does it cost?
We currently offer two plans. A free plan which includes a weekly email with ads and a paid plan which includes emails at the time recalls are identified and is ad free.
