The Vitamin Shoppe is recalling approximately 2,800 bottles of Energy Formula multivitamins (90 tablets) because the packaging is not child-resistant. This product contains iron, which is required by law to have child-resistant safety caps to prevent accidental ingestion. While no injuries have been reported, these white bottles with blue, white, and gold labels were sold nationwide at Vitamin Shoppe stores and online from April 2019 through January 2020. The firm is providing a full refund or merchandise credit to affected consumers.
The bottle's cap is not child-resistant, posing a serious risk of poisoning if a young child opens the bottle and swallows the iron-containing tablets. Iron poisoning is a leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in children.
Consumers should immediately store the product in a safe location out of reach of children. Contact The Vitamin Shoppe for instructions on how to dispose of the product and receive a refund or merchandise credit. All known purchasers are being notified directly by the firm about the recall.
