What you'll get

Alerts that tell you what was recalled, and what to do next.

Each alert names the product, who in your household it affects, and the steps the agency recommends, with a link to the official notice.

Brands you buy

Follow the brands you buy, like Trader Joe's or Boar's Head, and get an alert the moment one of their products is recalled.

Last alert: Boar's Head deli — Listeria, all RTE expanded

Cars you drive

Add your car once. If NHTSA issues a recall for your year, make, and model, you'll get the details and the free dealer fix.

Last alert: 2022 Subaru Outback — brake light switch (NHTSA 26V-118)

Medications & allergens

Get an alert when a prescription you take is recalled, or when a food is pulled for an undeclared allergen your family avoids.

Last alert: Lisinopril 20mg — superpotency (lot LA24B not affected)

Covers the whole household

One account covers up to 6 family members. Each alert says whose item matched: a child's allergy, a parent's prescription, the family car.

Serious recalls reach you fast

They go straight to your phone as push and email. Minor recalls wait for the weekly digest, and you control both.

Straight from the source

Every alert links the original agency notice and recall number, so you can read exactly what was published.

How it works

Official recall data, matched to what you own.

New recalls from all four agencies are compared against your list every few minutes. When one matches, the right person gets the alert.

01

Pick what to watch

Add the brands, vehicles, medications, and allergens you want covered. Most people finish in about three minutes.

02

We check the federal feeds

Every new recall from the four agencies is compared against your list within minutes of publication.

The data

Built on the four official recall sources.

Every alert starts as a public recall notice from a federal agency. RecallPing reads all of them so you only have to read the ones that involve your household.

Questions

Common questions.

How is this different from signing up for FDA email alerts?
The agency mailing lists send everything they publish — hundreds of notices a year, nearly all about products you don't own. RecallPing compares each notice against the brands, vehicles, and medications you've added, and only sends the ones that match.
What does "matching a medication lot" actually mean?
You add the drug name and strength, and that's all matching needs. If the FDA recalls that drug, your alert includes the affected lot codes from the agency notice, so you can check them against the bottle in your cabinet. We never suggest stopping a medication — that's between you and your pharmacist.
Why do you require a card for the trial?
It prevents abuse of the free trial, which keeps the price at $34.99 a year. We email you three days before the trial ends, and you can cancel in one tap from the app or the web. If you're charged anyway, you have 14 days to get a prorated refund.
Can I share with family or roommates?
Yes. Household covers up to 6 member profiles on one account. Each member can have their own allergies, medications, and vehicles, and every alert is tagged with whose item it matched — so one person can manage recall safety for the whole household from a single login.
Where does the data come from?
Directly from the FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA — the four federal agencies that issue safety recalls in the U.S. Every alert links the original government notice and recall ID, so you can always read the source.
How fast do alerts arrive?
Average time from agency publication to your phone is about 5 minutes. We poll the federal feeds on a 5-minute cadence. Class III alerts roll into the Sunday digest by default — you can change that.

Know when a recall affects what you own.

Setup takes about three minutes. If a recall matches something on your list, you'll hear about it within minutes of the official notice.
