Search Australian consumer product recalls (ACCC Product Safety Australia): the most recent recalls, newest first, with product description, reason, hazard and what consumers should do. Filter by keyword (matches title, description, reason and hazard; all words must match), product topic (e.g. “Clothing”, “Toys”, “Electrical”), and publication date range. Covers only the recent window the publisher’s feed carries (the response states the dates). Returns id, title, date, topics and the stated reason, hazard and remedy; pass an id to au_recall_get for the full notice.
