Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 756,000 units of Women's Iron Complete Dietary Supplement (60 caplets) are being recalled because the blister packaging does not meet federal child-resistant requirements. These supplements are sold in a white box with grey and red text and were available at GNC retail stores and through various online retailers. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should return any unused product to a GNC store for a full refund.

Risk

The blister packaging is not child-resistant, allowing children to easily access the iron supplements. If ingested by a child, high doses of iron can cause serious poisoning, severe injury, or death.

  3. Move these supplements out of the reach and sight of children immediately to prevent accidental ingestion.
  4. Return any unused product to your local GNC store to receive a full refund.
