About Recalled Today
Recalled Today is a free, independent tracker of product recalls and safety notices in Europe. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or part of any government agency, and it is not an official page of the European Commission or of any national authority.
What you get
- One feed of Safety Gate alerts about products for consumers, newest first, with the serious ones marked. Alerts about products for professional users are kept in their own categories and out of the main feed and digests.
- A plain-English summary and a “what to do” line on every recall, written only from the official notice.
- The official notice’s own wording and a link to it.
- Category, company and keyword search, RSS and email alerts, and weekly back issues.
- Product photos come from the Safety Gate alert and carry its credit: “Image: Safety Gate (European Commission)”. Recalled Today stores its own copy of each photo.
