Recall intelligence

The federal recall wire, matched against what you actually own.

Every year regulators recall thousands of products — cribs, treadmills, granola bars, cars. Most never reach the people holding them. AllClear watches CPSC, FDA, USDA and NHTSA continuously and tells you the day something you own, sell or manage turns up on the wire.

A recall only works if it reaches you. Mostly, it doesn't.

Recalls are broadcast, not delivered: an agency posts a notice, a press release goes out, and then everyone holding the product is expected to somehow find out. Response rates for consumer product recalls are notoriously low — dangerous products keep circulating for years through hand-me-downs, garage sales and online resale. Children's sleepers have kept claiming lives long after their recalls, precisely because secondhand owners never got the memo.

The data to close that loop is public. It just never gets matched against the one thing that matters: what you actually have. AllClear is that matching layer — a standing query against the recall wire, in both directions: watch what you own, screen what you sell.

Explainable verdicts

Every hit shows its evidence: UPC exact, brand + product agreement, or weighted text similarity — with the raw signals attached. No black-box scores you can't defend to a customer or an inspector.

Four federal sources

CPSC consumer products, FDA food/drug/device enforcement, NHTSA vehicle campaigns live per-vehicle, USDA FSIS meat & poultry. One normalized index, one answer.

Both directions

Consumers keep a watchlist that's re-screened as new recalls land. Resellers, thrifts and daycares screen items before they hit the shelf — federal law bars selling recalled goods.

Built for the people holding the bag

Parents

Cribs, sleepers, high chairs, toys — children's products are recalled weekly. Add the nursery once; hear about it the day it matters.

Resellers & thrift stores

Selling a recalled product is unlawful under the Consumer Product Safety Act, and marketplaces are under growing enforcement pressure. Screen listings by API or by hand before they go up.

Daycares & schools

Many state licensing regimes require documented recall checks. Keep the equipment list in AllClear and the check runs itself — with an audit log.

Landlords & property managers

Furnished units carry appliances, furniture, detectors. One watchlist per property, alerts when any of it is recalled.

One POST before every listing

The same engine, as an API. Send a title — plus brand or UPC when you have them — and get a verdict with citations to the official notices. Wire it into your listing flow, intake scanner or inventory system.

For businesses that resell

Selling a recalled product is a federal violation — even secondhand. Prove you screened.

CPSC issued 100,000+ takedowns in 2026 and is holding resellers and platforms responsible for what they list. AllClear is the checkpoint: screen every item at intake, and keep the record that you did.

Screen at intake

One API call or a barcode scan per item — match / review / all-clear against 74,909 live federal recalls in under a second.

Tamper-evident certificates

Emit a signed, hash-chained clearance certificate a buyer, inspector, or insurer can verify independently.

One-click audit export

Every screen you ever ran, as a CSV you can hand a regulator — your documented good-faith effort.

Pricing

One screening service, two sides. Every tier checks against the same full federal index — paid tiers add automation for families and scale, proof, and API access for businesses. Nothing to install or host; you’re buying access to the service.

Questions

Is this legal advice?

No. AllClear is a screening signal, not legal advice or safety certification. Every verdict cites the official federal notice — always confirm against it. You remain responsible for your own compliance obligations.

How current is the data?

We re-ingest CPSC, FDA, USDA FSIS, and NHTSA daily and re-screen every watchlist against new recalls. Federal sources carry their own latencies (openFDA enforcement reports can lag a press release), which we surface rather than hide.

What if you miss a recall?

The engine is tuned to never miss at the cost of some over-flagging — a 'review' verdict means 'look closer,' not 'ignore.' We publish our error rates on a labeled test set (0 missed recalls, 0 false matches) so you can judge for yourself, and we cite every source.

How does a business screen inventory?

Send a title, brand, or UPC to the API — or scan a barcode — and get a verdict with citations. Pro includes 1,000 screens/day, an exportable audit log, and signed clearance certificates.

What is a clearance certificate?

A signed, hash-chained record of a screen — item, verdict, evidence, timestamp — that anyone can verify at a public URL. It travels with a resold item as proof it was checked.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Paid plans are month-to-month through Stripe; cancel and access continues to the end of the period. The free tier is free forever.

Why this exists

Public data isn't public if it never reaches the person it protects. A recall notice sitting in a federal database while the recalled crib sits in a nursery is not a solved problem — it's an information asymmetry with a body count, and it persists because attention, not information, is the scarce resource.

AllClear takes a position on that: vigilance should be infrastructure, not a personal virtue. You shouldn't have to remember to check a government website weekly to keep your kid safe, any more than you should have to smell for smoke instead of owning a smoke detector. We externalize the remembering. The wire is watched, the matching is explainable, and the day your stuff shows up on it, so does your alert.
