RecallDB — U.S. Product Recall Database (Sample)

127,783 official recalls · 292,790 recalled products · CPSC · FDA · FSIS · NHTSA · USCG · 100% source-linked

RecallDB is a normalized, provenance-tracked dataset of official U.S. federal product recalls. It joins five official source families into one relational model: CPSC consumer products, NHTSA vehicles, FDA/openFDA plus FDA Safety Alerts enrichment, USDA FSIS food safety recalls, and USCG recreational boating recalls.

Public sample vs paid full dataset

This Hugging Face dataset is the free public sample. The full CSV + SQLite export is not published here.

Table	Full dataset	Public sample
Recalls	127,783	200
Recalled products	292,790	428
Source pulls	521	11
Firms	20,886	147
Hazard taxonomy	11	11

Files / configs

Each table is exposed as a separate config for the Datasets viewer:

• recalls — balanced sample of recalls from all five agencies
• recalled_products — linked products, vehicles, lots and categories
• data_sources — endpoint URLs, retrieval timestamps and raw payload hashes
• firms — canonical firm names observed in the sample
• hazards — hazard taxonomy with recall counts

Quick start

from datasets import load_dataset

recalls = load_dataset("Ichlibitiche/recalldb-product-recalls-sample", "recalls", split="train")
print(recalls.to_pandas().groupby("source_agency").size())

Or with pandas directly:

import pandas as pd

recalls = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/Ichlibitiche/recalldb-product-recalls-sample/recalls.csv")

Provenance

Every recall carries source_agency, external_id, source_url, and source_id. source_id joins into data_sources, which exposes endpoint_url, retrieved_at, raw_payload_bytes, and raw_payload_sha256. The paid SQLite release also stores the archived raw payload for replay and audit.
