Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records RecallLens – CPSC Product Recall Search version 1.1.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) — right on your site.
Great for parenting blogs, deal sites, product-review sites, resellers, and safety-focused pages.
Add it anywhere with the [recall_lens] shortcode or the RecallLens – CPSC Product Recall Search Gutenberg block.
Visitors type a product, brand, or item; results show the recall title, date, hazard, remedy, and a link to the official CPSC notice.
Recall data is cached on your server for fast responses and to minimize external requests.
Clean, mobile-friendly, no configuration required.
Free vs Pro
Free: the complete recall-search widget — unlimited searches and results, shortcode + Gutenberg block, cached for speed. No feature limits.
Pro (optional): adds a CSV export of the search results. (More Pro features planned.) Pro is entirely optional — the free plugin is fully functional on its own.
External services
S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) public recall API to retrieve recall information.
Service: CPSC Recalls REST API — https://www.saferproducts.gov/RestWebServices/Recall
What is sent, and when: when a visitor performs a search (or when the server refreshes its hourly recall cache), the plugin requests recent recall records. Only the standard request is made; the visitor’s search terms are matched locally on your server against the cached list — your visitors’ search terms are not transmitted to CPSC.
This is a public U.S. government data service. CPSC terms: https://www.cpsc.gov/, privacy: https://www.cpsc.gov/About-CPSC/Privacy-Policy
