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.
Recall Record
In addition, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned consumers to immediately stop using AIRLYA-Life Infant Walkers due to the risk of serious injury or death from fall and entrapment hazards.
There have been a number of product and food recalls at Walmart so far this year.
In April, Walmart recalled celery sticks because of a potential listeria contamination. That was also found during random sampling by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
The month before, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeled broccoli sold in bags at Walmart stores as 'deadly' due to potential listeria contamination.
