Of the 13,246 recalls naming California we have scored against our rubric, 1,605 (12%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 2,843 (21%) are Severe.

These figures cover only the 13,246 recalls whose distribution notice names California specifically. The 72,986 nationwide recalls listed below reach every state, so counting them here would make every state page show the same numbers.
