Firms with the most FDA recalls

Firms ranked by the number of FDA recalls (all device, drug, and food recalls — aggregated from openFDA), with a Class I (most serious) breakdown.

An organization of public government data, not an official U.S. government site. Aggregates cover collected data, and rankings are based on name-level aggregation.

What the data shows

The top includes large food, drug, and device makers and firms concentrated in specific categories. A high count does not necessarily mean greater danger — it can reflect a wide product range or proactive voluntary recalls. To gauge health-risk severity, the Class I (most serious) breakdown is the better guide.
