Recall Database

Recalls by Hazard

Every product recall in the 411 Press database is sorted into one of 15 hazard groups — organized not by who made the product or which agency issued the notice, but by how the product can hurt you. Fire and burn. Vehicle crash. Choking. Strangulation. Contamination. The full set covers 2,802 records drawn from the CPSC, the FDA, and NHTSA. Sorting by hazard is how you find a pattern the manufacturer's name would hide. A lithium-battery fire risk shows up across dozens of brands; a furniture tip-over hazard spans a whole product category. It is also the view that connects the recall database to the reporting on this site: the same injury mechanisms behind the workplace incidents 411 Press covers — crush, laceration, burn, electric shock — are the ones that pull consumer products off the shelf. The hazard hubs are the consumer-side companion to that coverage. Pick a hazard to see every record grouped under it, newest first, each one linked to the original agency notice. The larger groups — vehicle crash, fire and burn, medical-device and food recalls — carry the most records; the smaller ones, like drowning and direct chemical poisoning, are narrow but serious. Read the scope note on any hub for what the dataset does and does not cover.
