RecallLens – CPSC Product Recall Search

Description

RecallLens lets your visitors instantly check whether a product, brand, or item has been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) — right on your site.

Great for parenting blogs, deal sites, product-review sites, resellers, and safety-focused pages.

• Add it anywhere with the [recall_lens] shortcode or the RecallLens – CPSC Product Recall Search Gutenberg block.
• Visitors type a product, brand, or item; results show the recall title, date, hazard, remedy, and a link to the official CPSC notice.
• Recall data is cached on your server for fast responses and to minimize external requests.
• Clean, mobile-friendly, no configuration required.

Free vs Pro

• Free: the complete recall-search widget — unlimited searches and results, shortcode + Gutenberg block, cached for speed. No feature limits.
• Pro (optional): adds a CSV export of the search results. (More Pro features planned.) Pro is entirely optional — the free plugin is fully functional on its own.

External services

This plugin connects to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) public recall API to retrieve recall information.

• Service: CPSC Recalls REST API — https://www.saferproducts.gov/RestWebServices/Recall
• What is sent, and when: when a visitor performs a search (or when the server refreshes its hourly recall cache), the plugin requests recent recall records. Only the standard request is made; the visitor’s search terms are matched locally on your server against the cached list — your visitors’ search terms are not transmitted to CPSC.
• This is a public U.S. government data service. CPSC terms: https://www.cpsc.gov/ , privacy: https://www.cpsc.gov/About-CPSC/Privacy-Policy
