API: Health Canada ~ recalls & safety alerts data

Endpoint: GET https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/sites/default/files/opendata-donneesouvertes/HCRSAMOpenData.json
It returns JSON.

Source: Health Canada (https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/d38de914-c94c-429b-8ab1-8776c31643e3)
Source type: Official open-data catalogue
Endpoint type: Open-data catalogue JSON
Integration difficulty: Copy-paste ready
Last checked: 2026-07-05
Production caveat: Still handle empty rows, schema changes, pagination, stale coverage, and temporary upstream failures.

Help me fetch this and build a simple page that displays it nicely. Include basic production safeguards for errors, empty responses, schema changes, caching, and rate limits.
