Check Consumer Product Safety Alerts
Search CPSC recall and safety alerts for consumer products including electronics, toys, furniture, and appliances.
Check Food Safety Recalls
Search FDA food recall announcements for specific products, brands, or hazard types.
Quick answer: Use the Product Recalls tool through ToolRouter to check food safety recalls directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolFood recalls happen regularly, and knowing whether a product currently on your shelves or in your supply chain has been recalled is not something you can rely on hearing about through normal channels. Retailers, distributors, and food service operations that act on recall information slowly face liability and reputational risk; consumers who miss a recall face a direct health risk.
Product Recalls searches the FDA food recall database and returns announcements matching a product name, brand, or hazard keyword. Recent recalls show the full picture of current safety alerts, including the reason for recall, the affected lot numbers, and the classification (Class I recalls are the most serious).
Retailers managing supplier risk, food safety professionals, supply chain teams, and consumers checking specific products use this to get accurate, current recall information without navigating the FDA website.
How to check food safety recalls with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw
Claude searches food recalls and helps you interpret the results in the context of what matters to you. It explains what each recall classification means for health risk, identifies whether your specific product variants fall within the recalled lot numbers, and tells you what action is required — whether to discard, return, or simply monitor.

Search for any FDA food recalls in the last 6 months involving listeria contamination in deli meats. What products are affected, which brands, and what action is required for recalled products?
Tips for Claude
- Ask about the recall class — Class I indicates a reasonable probability of serious health consequences
- Check lot numbers explicitly if you have a specific product — not all units of a product are necessarily recalled
- Ask Claude to tell you the recall initiation date to understand how recently the issue was identified
ChatGPT searches food recalls and explains the results in plain language anyone can act on. It describes what the contamination risk actually is, explains what to do with a recalled product in straightforward terms, and identifies whether the recall is isolated or part of a broader outbreak pattern.

Check for any current FDA food recalls involving peanut butter or peanut products. What products are affected, what is the safety concern, and what should people do if they have these products?
Tips for ChatGPT
- Ask ChatGPT to explain the health risk in plain language rather than just the regulatory recall reason
- Request the recommended consumer action — it varies between "do not eat, discard" and "return for refund"
- Ask whether a recall is ongoing or already closed — some recalls are resolved quickly
