About WhatWentBad

WhatWentBad is a free recall research tool. We compile official federal safety data and present it clearly so anyone can check whether a product they own has been recalled — without navigating complex government databases.

What we cover

Food, drug, and medical device recalls — including Class I (serious health risk), Class II (possible harm), and Class III (minor violation) events, plus market withdrawals.

What we don't do

• We don't require accounts or registration.
• We don't store your searches.
• We don't run ads or sell data.

Data

All data comes from official federal safety programs. It is the authoritative source for food, drug, and device recall information in the United States.

A note on timeliness

Recall data is updated periodically. For the most current information, always verify with the official federal safety authority.
