What the classes mean
The FDA sorts every recall into one of three classes. The class is the whole story. It is also the part people skip.
Class II is the bulk of every list here. That matters. A long list of Class II says something different from one Class I.

By year reported
Checking whether it affects you
The lot or code number is what matters. Not the product name. A recall covers
specific lots. Yours may not be one of them.
Check the code on your package against the report. The FDA keeps the current
list at fda.gov/safety/recalls.

Read these counts with three things in mind
A firm with more recalls usually makes more products. A contract packer runs
hundreds of lines. It will out-recall a company with one product whatever either
does. This is not a safety ranking.
Most recalls here are voluntary. A firm found its own fault and pulled the stock.
That is the system working. It lands in this database looking the same as a recall
the FDA had to push for.
Terminated means the FDA considers the recall finished. It is not a verdict.
It does not mean anyone was harmed.
