Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

General Nutrition Inc. (GNC) is recalling approximately 16,244 bottles of GNC Vitamin B-6 100mg Dietary Supplements because the bottles may contain the wrong product. Although the labels state the bottles contain white round Vitamin B-6 tablets, they actually contain green and white Pycnogenol capsules due to a filling line error. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date; the company was alerted by a customer who noticed the incorrect capsule type.

Risk

The bottles contain Pycnogenol capsules instead of the Vitamin B-6 tablets listed on the label. This packaging error means consumers are taking an unintended supplement, which poses a risk of consuming ingredients not indicated on the packaging.
