  - before: Is this product recalled? Give whatever you have: a product name and brand, a UPC/EAN/GTIN barcode, a model number, an NDC drug code or a lot code. Returns matching recalls from 9 US agencies (CPSC, FDA, NHTSA, US Coast Guard, FAA and more) with a confidence level (exact, strong, possible), the reasons for each match and the agency source link, plus early-warning signals from 6 sources (NHTSA investigations, CPSC violation notices, recall press releases, SEC filings, Prop 65 notices, SaferProducts.gov incident reports) that name the same model, vehicle or brand.
