FDA recalls by product type and class
An FDA recall event is one firm’s recall action; it can list many product records (sizes, flavors, lots). Class I means a reasonable probability of serious harm or death; Class II, temporary or reversible harm; Class III, unlikely to cause harm.
| Type | Events | Product records | Class I | Class II | Class III | Not yet classified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food & cosmetics | 46 | 110 | 53 | 54 | 3 | 0 |
| Drugs | 34 | 54 | 8 | 34 | 12 | 0 |
| Medical devices | 100 | 310 | 30 | 279 | 1 | 0 |
| All FDA | 180 | 474 | 91 | 367 | 16 | 0 |
Class columns count product records. FDA records marked “Not Yet Classified” are shown separately; the class and unclassified columns add up to product records.

Method and sources
- FDA: openFDA enforcement data for food, drugs and devices, by
report_date— the weekly FDA Enforcement Report the record appeared in, not the day the firm began the recall. FDA also publishes records after classification, so a recall can appear weeks after it started. - CPSC: the CPSC Recalls API, by recall date. Unit counts are the largest figure CPSC states for each recall.
- Causes are grouped by keyword matching on the official reason or hazard text, first match wins. Treat category shares as approximate; the linked records are authoritative.
- Not included: USDA FSIS meat, poultry and egg-product recalls, and NHTSA vehicle recalls.
- Recent months are refreshed every six hours for about six weeks while agencies add late records; older months are refreshed monthly.
