Protective Packaging E-commerce company iHerb has issued the urgent recall of around 60,000 units of Daily Prenatal Multi, Ultamins Women's Multivitamin, and Ultamins Women's 50+ Multivitamin. The affected products should have had child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Because they were not child-resistant, each bottle posed serious harm to young children. The units were sold at retailers from January 2019 through April 2025, costing between $8 and $18. iHerb is advising customers to discard or return the vitamins for a full refund. Thankfully, it has not reported any illnesses or deaths related to the recalled products.

Over 60,000 supplements recalled over deadly poison risk: Check packaging NOW
More than 60,000 packages of vitamins and supplements have been recalled over fears that the products could cause an accidental death. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the alert on June 26 for three types of California Gold Nutrition iron supplements due to the packaging, which is not child-resistant. The recall affects the brand's Daily Prenatal Multi, Ultamins Women's Multivitamin, and Ultamins Women's 50+ Multivitamins. Each of the recalled products contains 60 gel capsules, with the Ultamins coming in blister packs - the foil sheets that individually hold each pill. The prenatal multivitamins come in a white bottle with a white lid. The manufacturer of all three products is iHerb LLC in Irvine, California. For the Daily Prenatal Multi, the recall includes all pills with batch codes 2307050A, 2404096A, and 2411100A, and an expiration date of 08/2025, 05/2026, or 11/2026. For the Ultamins Women's Multivitamin, consumers should look for batch codes V0532 and V0533 on the back of the package, which expire on 11/2026 and 07/2026. The recall for Ultamins Women's 50+ Multivitamins includes batch codes V0534 and V0536, which can be found on the bottle, and expire on 07/2026 and 11/2026. These supplements were sold online throughout the US at and other sites between January 2019 and April 2025. Federal law requires any supplements containing iron to come in packaging that young children can't easily open due to the threat of an accidental overdose. Iron is highly toxic to children in large doses. If a child breaks into these packages and swallows too many supplements, they could develop iron poisoning, which can cause severe symptoms including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In severe cases, it can lead to organ damage (particularly to the liver and heart), internal bleeding, coma, or death. CPSC urged anyone who bought the affected supplements to immediately secure the packages away from children and contact iHerb for a refund. To receive a refund, email ProductRecall@ with the subject line 'Iron Supplement Refund' and provide your name, the products, and the quantity ordered. Consumers will also need to provide evidence that the product was disposed of, including a photo with their initials and the date visible. An optional step for consumers seeking a refund is to include the order number connected to the website where the supplements were purchased, which can be found in the Order History of the buyer's account. Federal law requires any supplements which include iron to use child-resistant packaging. Iron poisoning is one of the leading causes of poisoning deaths among children under 6 CPSC noted that iHerb is also contacting anyone they know who purchased these supplements directly. Officials warned that these supplements are formulated for adults, meaning the iron content is likely far higher than safe levels for children, amplifying the risk of accidental poisoning. Iron poisoning is a leading cause of poisoning deaths in children under six years old, according to the CDC. The recalled supplements were marketed to support the nutritional needs of women who may be at risk of iron deficiency anemia due to pregnancy, menstruation, or aging. Iron is critical for transporting oxygen in the blood and energy production. At this point, the CPSC has not received any reports of injuries, overdoses, or deaths connected to these recalled products. If a child does accidentally consume iron supplements, the early signs of poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. All of these will emerge within six hours. Within the first 24 hours, a young child may go into shock, suffer a seizure, or experience organ failure. Without immediate treatment, severe iron poisoning can be fatal. The main treatment to cleanse the body of an iron overdose is chelation therapy, a medical procedure that injects medication called chelating agents that act like magnets, grabbing onto the toxic metal and pulling it out of the body through urine or feces.
