What a recall entitles you to

A refund, a repair or a replacement. The notice says which. It costs you nothing and there is usually no receipt requirement.

Stop using the product first. Recalls do not expire. An old one still counts.

Two things these counts do not mean

A shop appearing here did not make the product. It sold it. A recall names where something was bought so buyers can find it, and a big retailer shows up often because it sells more of everything.

The hazard grouping is ours, not the CPSC's. They describe each hazard in prose and publish no categories, so we read the text and sort it. The quoted description on every page is theirs, word for word.
