# Total Product Recall

> An independent archive of U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recall notices from 1973 to today: 10,089 notices, checked against CPSC's public feed every weekday (last check 2026-11-13). Not affiliated with the CPSC. One notice can cover many products, so every count here is a count of recall notices, not products.

Facts you can quote. Each has an ID and a full trace card in the data files below:

- INS-001: 10,089 recall notices, dated 1973-06-08 to 2026-11-12.
- INS-002: 521 recalls so far in 2026: rank #1 of 54 years. Best earlier year: 2007 with 452.
- INS-004: 917 of 941 recalls dated since 2025 (97.4%) carry a Thursday date: 95% in 2025 and 99.4% in 2026. The other 24 fall on 8 other dates (20 Wednesdays, 2 Mondays, 1 Tuesday, 1 Friday).
- INS-011: 59.5% of 2026 recalls (310 of 521) were sold on Amazon, up from 28.8% in 2020 and 5% in 2010.

How to cite:

- Link the CPSC notice for the recall (`notice_url`) and this site's recall page (`page_url`).
- Cite a figure by its insight ID (for example INS-011) and give the denominator.
- Say "recall notices", never "unsafe products". A share of recalls is not a share of products or sales. Read `llms-full.txt` for the wording rules.
