openFDA Device Enforcement
Report-date coverage

openFDA Device Recall
event_date_initiated coverage
June 01, 1997–June 30, 2026

Product dates, classifications, firms, and source wording remain attached to their individual rows.
Opening this dossier never hides products that did not match a prior timeline filter.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
