Korea's MFDS cosmetic recall data, U.S. FDA recalls (openFDA) and import refusals, the EU's Safety Gate alerts, and Health Canada recalls. Each row links the official record.
A recall removes products already on the market. An FDA import refusal means a shipment was refused entry at the U.S. border; it is not a recall and does not mean products on sale are affected.
It is the country of origin given by the official source. Korea's MFDS records are always Korean products; other sources show it only when they publish it.
The EU and Canadian sources cover all cosmetics. Use the “Made in South Korea” filter to see Korean products only.
Korean, U.S. and Canadian sources are checked daily; the EU's weekly reports are checked every week.
