## Description

**RecallLens** lets your visitors instantly check whether a product, brand, or item
has been recalled by the U.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

This plugin connects to the **U.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

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   RecallLens – CPSC Product Recall Search Add a product-recall search widget (
   official U.S. CPSC data) to any page or post.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `recall-lens-cpsc-search` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install
    via the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Add the `[recall_lens]` shortcode to any post/page, or insert the **RecallLens –
    CPSC Product Recall Search** block.

## FAQ

### Where does the data come from?

The official U.S. CPSC recall database (saferproducts.gov). Absence of a result 
is not a guarantee a product is safe — always confirm at cpsc.gov.

### Does it slow down my site?

No. The recall list is cached on your server (hourly) and searches are matched locally.
