OpenFDA Search Drug Enforcement

Search the FDA drug enforcement (recall) database via openFDA. Contains drug recalls, withdrawals, and field corrections submitted to the FDA. Use Lucene query syntax: 'classification:"Class I"' (most serious, may cause death), 'recalling_firm:pfizer', 'status:Ongoing'. Returns recall details including reason, product description, distribution pattern, classification, firm, and dates. Use count parameter for frequency analysis (e.g., count='classification' to see recall counts by class).
