Health Canada's open recall file, read once a day. Its dates are when each notice was last updated, not when the recall began. The file names no company: a device recall shows one only when its product name is exactly an active Health Canada licence name held by one company (17% of these device recalls), and that company links to its FDA records where we have them.
