Inspection Details

Date and time this recall verification inspection is being conducted.
Full name and job title of the person conducting this inspection (e.g., Store Manager, Loss Prevention, Compliance Officer).
Store identifier, address, or location code.
Enter the recall notice ID, FDA/CPSC recall number, or affected product UPC(s) as listed in the recall communication received.
Record when the store first received the official recall communication from the supplier, distributor, or corporate office.
Select all store departments where the recalled product was stocked or sold.

Recalled Product Pull Completion

Confirm that zero units of the recalled product remain on the primary shelf or display location in each affected department.
Check all secondary display locations — end caps, clip strips, floor stacks, and seasonal displays — for any remaining recalled units.
Verify that back stock, overstock shelving, and receiving staging areas have been checked and cleared of recalled product.
Enter the total number of units of recalled product physically removed from all locations combined.

Shelf Clearance and Planogram Compliance

Confirm that the shelf tag, price label, or planogram label for the recalled SKU has been removed or covered with a 'DO NOT STOCK' or recall hold label to prevent accidental restocking.
Verify that the vacated shelf space is either blocked with a recall hold placard, filled with an approved substitute product, or otherwise secured against accidental restocking of recalled units.
Conduct a final visual sweep of the entire affected department(s) to confirm zero recalled product is visible, accessible, or available for customer purchase.

Recall Bin / Quarantine Area Placement

Confirm that a dedicated physical location (bin, cage, pallet, or locked area) is established and labeled 'RECALL — DO NOT SELL / DO NOT SHIP' for holding recalled product.
Verify that every unit of recalled product removed from the floor and back stock is now located in the designated quarantine area — none left in carts, on receiving docks, or in unsecured locations.
Confirm the quarantine location is in a back-of-house or secured area, not co-mingled with sellable stock, and not accessible to the public.

Customer Notification Posting

Confirm that a customer-facing recall notice (provided by corporate, supplier, or regulatory agency) is posted at or near the shelf location where the recalled product was sold.
Verify that a recall notice is also posted at a high-visibility location such as the main store entrance, customer service desk, or checkout area.
Review posted notices to confirm they include: product name and description, UPC or lot code, reason for recall, and clear instructions for customers on how to return the product or obtain a refund.
If the store operates a loyalty or frequent shopper program, confirm that targeted outreach (email, app notification, or phone) has been initiated for customers who purchased the recalled product.

Department-Level Compliance Sign-Off

Confirm that the manager of each affected department has been verbally or formally notified of the recall and their specific responsibilities.
Verify that each affected department has a completed and signed recall action record on file (paper or digital) confirming product pull, bin placement, and notification steps.
Confirm that the store manager and/or corporate compliance/loss prevention team has been notified that all recall actions are complete, with documentation submitted as required.
Record any additional observations, deficiencies not captured above, or follow-up actions required.
Inspector signature confirming this recall verification inspection was conducted accurately and completely.
