Track product recalls at a glance

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an independent federal regulatory agency established in 1972, works to protect the public by reducing unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from consumer products. It develops safety standards, manages voluntary and mandatory recalls, conducts research, and provides safety education to keep families safe.

The EU Safety Gate (formerly RAPEX) is the European Union’s rapid alert system designed to protect consumers from dangerous non-food products. It enables quick exchange of information between member states and the European Commission about safety risks, facilitating coordinated action such as recalls or product withdrawals to protect public health.
