CPSC recall check: is your product recalled?

To check for a CPSC recall, search the brand and product name or model number below, or at cpsc.gov/Recalls. Open the matching notice and compare the model, serial or date code and where it was sold. If it matches, follow the notice: usually stop using the product and contact the company for a refund, repair or replacement.

Recalled or Not? is independent. This is not a CPSC website; every result links to the official notice. Last reviewed September 30, 2026.

What CPSC covers — and where to check everything else

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission covers most things you use at home: coffee makers, toys, lawn mowers, furniture, appliances and electronics. It also covers off-road vehicles such as ATVs and ROVs, gun safes and gun locks, toy guns and consumer fireworks. Cars, food and medicine belong to other agencies:

All agencies’ recalls are also listed at Recalls.gov.

How to check if your product has a CPSC recall

1. Find the brand, product name and model number on the product or its label, and note any serial number or date code. Not sure where? Find the model, serial or date code.
2. Search the brand, then add the product type (for example Graco, then Graco stroller).
3. Open the official notice and match the model, serial range or date code, the color or size, and where and when it was sold. Recalls can cover only specific batches.
4. Check CPSC’s list for warnings. Some hazards are published as “CPSC Warns Consumers…” product safety warnings, and our search doesn’t include them. See cpsc.gov/Recalls.
5. No match? That doesn’t prove the product is safe. If you think it’s dangerous, report it on SaferProducts.gov.

Search tips

• Brand plus product type works (IKEA dresser, Anker power bank). Spaces, hyphens and apostrophes don’t matter: Fisher Price finds Fisher-Price and Rock n Play finds Rock ’n Play.
• Model numbers are found when CPSC lists them in the recall record (for example A1263 or ZHX-PB22). If a model search finds nothing, search the brand and read the notice.
• Recall numbers such as 26-792 work. UPCs are found only when CPSC recorded them, which is rare, so use the brand or product name.
• We show the newest 20 CPSC recalls and tell you how many matched. Add a product type or model to narrow the list.

Example: NEWDERY power bank → CPSC recall 26-792 (Sept. 24, 2026). Model ZHX-PB22 is printed on the back. Remedy: refund. You’ll need a photo showing the model and serial number with “recalled” and your last name written on it. (CPSC notice) Bought it at Walmart? See Walmart recalls.

Where to find the model number, serial number or date code

On appliances, electronics and tools, look for a rating label or plate, usually underneath, on the back, or inside a door. Children’s products and clothing often have it on a label, tag or the packaging. The recall notice says exactly where to look. Examples from 2026 CPSC notices:

• Grill (Char-Broil Bistro Pro): label with the model, serial number and a YYMM date code on the bottom shelf (CPSC 26773).
• Range (AGA dual fuel): serial number on the rating plate under the storage drawer (CPSC 26756).
• Minifridge (Cooluli): model and batch number on a label inside the door (CPSC 26685).
• Ceiling fan (Hampton Bay Halwin): serial number inside the mounting plate (CPSC 26702).
• Power bank (NEWDERY): model number printed on the back (CPSC 26-792).
• Kids’ clothing (Little Loves & Co.): model number and date code on the neck tag (CPSC 26724).
• Dresser (Walmart Mainstays): tracking/lot and MM/YYYY date on a label under the top panel (CPSC 26726).
• Toy (Melissa & Doug): date codes on the packaging (CPSC 26780).

Durable infant and toddler products (cribs, strollers, high chairs, walkers, swings, bassinets and similar) must be permanently marked with the maker’s name and contact details, the model name and number, and the date of manufacture, which may be in code. More by product type: appliances, electronics and tools and toys and children’s products.

What you get: refund, repair or replacement

Each CPSC recall names its remedy. CPSC defines them this way:

• Refund: a full or partial refund, or a gift card.
• Repair: the company repairs the product.
• Replace: a new product, or another product of similar value.
• Dispose: throw the product out or recycle it.
• Remedy no longer available: throw it out or recycle it.
• New instructions: the company tells you how to make the product safe.

Over the past five years, refunds were the most common remedy in CPSC recalls, followed by repairs and replacements (CPSC, as of Sept. 30, 2026).

How to claim: contact the company using the Consumer Contact in the notice, not CPSC. Follow every step the notice asks for, such as photos proving you destroyed or disabled the product (for example, cutting the power cord). The remedy is set by the recall: CPSC says its “staff does not negotiate on behalf of individual consumers.”

Company not responding? Contact the company first and wait for a reply. If that doesn’t work, use CPSC’s Recall Complaint Form. That form is not how you request the remedy itself.

Don’t sell or give it away: “It is illegal to sell a recalled product.” More on each step: refund, repair or replacement.

Recall vs. “CPSC Warns” product safety warning

CPSC issues a warning on its own when a company refuses to recall or doesn’t respond. For example, CPSC said one infant walker firm “has been unresponsive to CPSC’s request to recall,” and an ATV maker “has refused to conduct a voluntary recall.” Warnings usually tell you to stop using and dispose of the product and not to sell or give it away. Follow the warning’s instructions; there’s usually no company refund.

What “Recall Alert” in a title means

A recall titled “Recall Alert” means the company can contact nearly all buyers directly, for example through registration cards, memberships or online orders, so you may get a notice from the company itself.

Power banks and lithium-ion batteries

Don’t put recalled lithium-ion batteries in the trash, curbside recycling or store battery bins. Ask your local household hazardous waste center first, and see how to dispose of a recalled product.

Baby and children’s products

Cribs, toddler beds, high chairs, bath seats, gates, play yards, carriers, strollers, walkers, swings, bassinets, changing tables, bouncers and similar products come with a postage-paid registration card, and you can usually register online. The maker may use that information only for recall and safety alerts, so register baby gear so the maker can reach you if it’s recalled.

Car seats aren’t part of this CPSC rule; they’re registered with the maker under NHTSA rules. Check car seat and tire recalls, or browse the latest child product recalls.

CPSC says: “Never miss a recall – subscribe for recall emails.” Sign up on CPSC’s subscriptions page. Also register baby gear (above), and check back here when you buy or are given a used product.

Report an unsafe product

Report it online at SaferProducts.gov (“4 easy steps”), call CPSC’s hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270, Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–5:30 p.m. ET), or email the form to [email protected]. Reports help CPSC decide whether to “recall the product, fine the manufacturer, or create regulation.” Your name and contact information won’t be released; if you allow it, the report itself may be published and searchable.

A report on SaferProducts.gov is not a recall: its public search lists both consumer reports and recalls. More: how to report a dangerous product.

CPSC recall data: cpsc.gov, SaferProducts.gov and the API

• cpsc.gov/Recalls is CPSC’s list of recalls and product safety warnings. CPSC says its data “updates weekly as new recalls are announced”; the charts cover 10 years, and the full dataset goes back to 1973.
• SaferProducts.gov’s public search finds recalls and reports by keyword, product, brand or model, and offers a full database export.
• The CPSC Recalls API returns recall records as XML or JSON, with case-insensitive search by fields such as recall number, title, product name, model, UPC and manufacturer (programmer’s guide).

Our search uses CPSC’s public Recalls API. The API doesn’t include CPSC product safety warnings, and it only finds model numbers or UPCs that CPSC recorded in the recall record. If CPSC’s API doesn’t respond, the search says so and links to cpsc.gov.
