Transparent by design
Data methodology
This site turns a defined slice of the openFDA Drug Enforcement dataset into static, searchable pages. It does not create or classify recall information.
Source
Records come from the openFDA Drug Enforcement Reports API, which publishes data from the FDA Recall Enterprise System.
Coverage and freshness
The current snapshot covers report dates from July 28, 2024 through July 28, 2026 and contains 1,433 records.
The source is checked daily for changes. openFDA describes the underlying dataset as updating approximately weekly, so a daily check does not imply daily source updates.
Normalization
Artifact4U preserves the recall number, report date, classification, status, product description, reason, code information, recalling firm, and distribution pattern. Where openFDA provides harmonized fields, the site also indexes generic names, brand names, and product NDCs.
Search behavior
Search is a case-insensitive substring match across the fields above. It happens in your browser; the query is not sent to an Artifact4U server.
Known limitations
- The site covers a rolling 24-month window, not the full historical database.
- Some records do not include harmonized drug names or NDCs.
- No matching result is not proof that a product is unaffected.
- Enforcement data should not be used alone to issue alerts or track the full lifecycle of a recall.
