Steps
Query the CPSC Recalls REST API at https://www.saferproducts.gov/RestWebServices/Recall with a ProductName filter (e.g., ProductName=Wood Stove or ProductName=Pellet Stove) and format=json for machine-readable output.
Alternatively filter by Title or RecallDescription keywords such as 'wood stove', 'pellet stove', or 'chimney', per CPSC's Recalls Retrieval Web Services Programmer's Guide.
Parse the returned recall records for hazard description, remedy, and the affected manufacturer/model.
Cross-check any flagged model against its entry in the EPA Certified Wood Heater Database to see if the same unit is also EPA-certified.
Known gotchas
This targets solid-fuel heating appliance categories specifically (wood/pellet stoves, inserts, chimney-related hardware) via ProductName/RecallDescription query filters — it is not a generic saferproducts.gov keyword crawl across all consumer product categories.
The API surfaces only recalls CPSC has formally published; it won't catch manufacturer safety bulletins or field notices that fall short of an official recall.
