Blueroot Health Recalls Bottles of Bariatric Fusion Iron Multivitamins Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Child Poisoning; Violates Mandatory Standard for Child-Resistant Packaging; Manufactured by VitaQuest International
The hazard
The recalled multivitamins contain iron, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The recalled packaging of the iron-containing multivitamins violates the federal standard for child-resistant packaging because the bottle caps are not child-resistant, posing a risk of deadly poisoning, if the contents are swallowed by young children.
Incidents reported: None reported
What to do now
Consumers should immediately secure the recalled bottles out of sight and reach of children, and contact Blueroot Health for information on how to obtain a free child-resistant replacement cap.
Contact: Blueroot Health toll-free at 866-259-0602 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email at support@bariatricfusion.com, or online at bariatricfusion.com/product-safety or www.bariatricfusion.com and click "Recall" at the bottom of the page for more information.
