FDA Recalls Monitor โ Drug, Device & Food Recalls โ JSON (with stock tickers)
Search and monitor FDA enforcement recalls (drug, device, food) through the official openFDA API. No browser, no proxy: a public government API, so it's fast, reliable, and fully legal. Recall data is de-identified public enforcement information.
What it does
Query openFDA's enforcement datasets by category, keyword, status, and severity class, and get clean, flattened recall records โ recall reason, recalling firm, classification, distribution, dates, and more.
Bonus: recalling firm โ stock ticker
A recall is a market-moving event. When the recalling firm is a publicly-traded company,
this actor maps it to its stock ticker + SEC CIK (via SEC's official company list,
with a conservative match plus an alias table for big pharma like JNJ/PFE/ABBV). Most
recallers are private or foreign generic makers (so ticker is often null) โ but when
it matches, you get a high-signal, ticker-tagged event. Turn it off with mapTickers: false.
