Brand Safety Scores

Which brands have the most recalls? Our safety scores rank manufacturers by recall frequency and severity, helping you make informed purchasing decisions.

How We Calculate Scores

Our safety score (0-100) considers recall severity and recency:

  • Class I: 10 points (dangerous/life-threatening)
  • Class II: 3 points (may cause temporary health issues)
  • Class III: 1 point (unlikely to cause health problems)
  • Recent: +2 points per recall in last 12 months

Higher scores indicate more concern. Only brands with 3+ recalls are included.

Important Disclaimer

Safety scores are based solely on publicly available FDA and CPSC recall data. A high score doesn't necessarily mean a brand's products are unsafe - it may reflect the brand's size, transparency, or product categories. Large companies naturally have more recalls due to volume. Use this data as one factor in your research, not as a definitive safety rating.
