(NewsNation) — More than 60,000 packages of vitamins and prenatal supplements have been recalled over fears they’ll lead to an accidental death.
The recall affects three supplements sold by California Gold Nutrition: the Daily Prenatal Multi, Ultamins Women’s Multivitamin and Ultamins Women’s 50+ Multivitamin.
The products contain iron, which means they must be sold in child-resistant packaging under federal law.
Recalled items sold in non-child-resistant packaging
The 60,000 items affected by the recall were sold in packaging that is not child-resistant, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
“The iron-containing dietary supplement packages violate the federal standard for child-resistant packaging because the bottles and blister packs are not child-resistant, posing a risk of deadly poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children,” the commission wrote in a recall notice issued on June 26.
Supplements purchased between 2019 and 2025 could be affected
The supplements were sold online by Amazon, Walmart and Target from January 2019 to April 2025. Anyone who bought the three types of California Gold Nutrition supplements is urged to keep the recalled items out of sight and reach of children.
They should contact the manufacturer, iHerb, for a refund and information about how to dispose of the items, the recall notice said. To find out if you have an affected product, you’ll want to take a look at the vitamin bottle or packaging. You should look for the following:
