Government Shutdown, Furlough Affects Reacalls, Not A Single Drug, Food, Vehicular Or Toy Recall Since 21st December 2018

Most federal services are closed due to government shutdown. I have only noticed one recall on FDA site them. Other entities like, USDA, CDC, HHS, CPSC, NHTSA and EPA have not released any recall since.
We will keep on looking.
As I recall most recalls happens during the holiday season due to various reasons. Wish you all a safe holidays.
Every department has a similar message as shown below;

FDA Lapse in Funding 

In the absence of either an FY 2019 appropriation or a Continuing Resolution for FDA, beginning on December 22, 2018 and continuing until the date of enactment of an FY 2019 appropriation or Continuing Resolution ("lapse period"), agency operations continue to the extent permitted by law, such as activities necessary to address imminent threats to the safety of human life and activities funded by carryover user fee funds.

Due to a lapse in appropriations, EPA websites will not be regularly updated. In the event of an environmental emergency imminently threatening the safety of human life or where necessary to protect certain property, the EPA website will be updated with appropriate information. Please note that all information on the EPA website may not be up to date, and transactions and inquiries submitted to the EPA website may not be processed or responded to until appropriations are enacted.
