Each record includes recall number + date, title, CPSC URL, description, affected products (name/model/units), hazards, remedies, reported injuries, manufacturers/importers/distributors/retailers, where sold, manufacturing countries, images, and consumer-contact info. Public-domain US government data.

Overview

The product recalls API is a pay-per-call gov endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. CPSC consumer-product recalls from SaferProducts.gov, newest first.

There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in product recalls data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs gov data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the product recalls API?
No. gov.product-recalls is x402-native — there is no signup and no API key. Your client makes the call, receives a 402 with payment requirements, signs a USDC payment, and retries. Funds come from a wallet you control.
How much does the product recalls API cost?
$0.0024 USDC per call, charged per request. There are no monthly fees, seats, or minimums — you pay only for the calls you make.
Can I try the product recalls API for free first?
Yes. Add ?trial=1 (or the header X-2s-Trial: 1) to get a free real call per endpoint per hour, so you can verify the response shape before wiring payment.
Which networks and tokens are supported?
USDC on Base (via EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization) or Solana (SPL transfer), using the open x402 payment protocol.
How do I call gov.product-recalls from an AI agent or MCP host?
Use @2sio/sdk (TypeScript), 2sio (Python), or the @2sio/mcp server for any MCP host — each handles the probe → sign → retry loop for you. See the code samples on this page.
