Recalling firms often issue press releases announcing significant recalls.  FDA posts these press releases on its website as a service to consumers.  Users that are interested in recall data from firm's press releases for recalls from 2009 through the present can review and download the files below. 

We are always looking to improve the information that is made available to the public.  You can provide any comments and suggestions for FDA's Data Gateway by sending an e-mail to webmail@oc.fda.gov or by commenting on the transparency blog post announcing the availability of these data sets.
