How to check if something you own has been recalled
Where to look up recalls in the US, Canada and UK, and what to do if a product you own is on the list.
Recalls are announced by government safety agencies, but few people see them. Chargers, power banks, e-bikes, children's products and pet food are recalled often.
Where to look
- United States: the Consumer Product Safety Commission (cpsc.gov) for products, and the FDA for food, medicine and pet food.
- Canada: Health Canada's Recalls and Safety Alerts site.
- United Kingdom: the Office for Product Safety and Standards on GOV.UK, and the Food Standards Agency for food.
- Our recalls pages bring the electronics and pet product recalls from these agencies together, with filters by country.
If something you own is recalled
- Stop using it, especially chargers and batteries recalled for fire risk.
- Match the model number, batch code or dates in the notice against your product.
- Follow the remedy in the official notice: refund, repair or replacement. You usually do not need a receipt.
- Register new products with their maker when offered, so you are contacted directly about recalls.
