“Natrol Melatonin Recall: Wrong Product Labeling Hazard.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/14711-natrol-melatonin-recall-wrong-product-labeling-hazard. Based on FDA recall #F-0479-2021 (https://api.fda.gov/food/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22F-0479-2021%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The product contains Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) instead of Melatonin due to a labeling error. While the record does not specify severe injuries, taking ALA when expecting Melatonin may lead to unintended health effects or interactions for those relying on it for sleep support.
Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased Natrol Melatonin 3 mg tablets in white bottles with purple flip-top caps between the manufacturing date and April 8, 2021. Individuals taking this specific supplement are at risk of consuming the wrong active ingredient.
How to tell if you have this one
Check if you have a white bottle with a purple flip-top cap labeled "Natrol Melatonin 3 mg, Tab 60." Look specifically for Lot number 2084395 and an expiration date of DEC31 23. The label also states "Fall asleep faster, Stay asleep longer" and "Drug Free."
