Product Recalls

Returns safety recalls from federal agencies, drug recalls (FDA), medical device recalls (FDA), food/dietary supplement recalls (FDA), consumer-product recalls (CPSC), and vehicle, equipment, tire and child-restraint recall campaigns (NHTSA, since 1966). Use this when the user asks about: recent recalls for a specific company or product, vehicle recalls by make or model, or FDA Class I (most severe) recalls.

Vehicle recalls: Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation. Public domain (U.S. Government work). One row per campaign; do_not_drive and park_outside are NHTSA's consumer advisories.

recalling_firm	The recalling firm's name (e.g., 'Pfizer', 'Abbott', 'Whole Foods'). Case-insensitive. 4+ characters match anywhere in the text; 1-3 characters match a whole word ('3M', 'GE', 'ABC').

Case-insensitive. 4+ characters match anywhere in the text; 1-3 characters match a whole word ('3M', 'GE', 'ABC'). A term of 3+ characters searches EVERY recall. A 1-2 character term searches only a window: the newest 5,000 recalls (the oldest, with sort_order=asc) that your other filters select (source, dates, classification, status, a 3+ character term); coverage_warning says so, and since/until move the window.

vehicle_model	NHTSA campaigns that name a vehicle model containing this text (e.g., 'F-150', 'Camry'). Matches NHTSA rows only. 3+ characters search every campaign; 1-2 characters search the newest 5,000.

since	ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD). Only recalls whose recall_initiation_date is on or after this date.
until	ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD). Only recalls whose recall_initiation_date is on or before this date.
