GNC is recalling certain women's multivitamins because they don't have child-resistant packaging as required by law. If a child ingests these vitamins, they could get seriously hurt or die. Consumers should keep them out of reach of children and return them to the store for a replacement or refund.
The multivitamins lack child-resistant packaging, which is required by federal law. If a child accidentally ingests them, the iron content could cause serious injury or death because children's bodies can't process iron safely.
Women who own or use the recalled multivitamins are most at risk if a child can access them. Children under age 5 are particularly vulnerable due to the potential for ingestion.
Check for white plastic bottles with a white label and flip-top cap. The lot numbers are printed on the side of the bottle and on the bottom of the packaging. Affected products include specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice.
Store the recalled multivitamins out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
