60,000 Bottles of Popular Women's Vitamins Recalled over Risk of Iron Poisoning to Children
- IHerb LLC, operating as Madre Labs LLC in Irvine, California, recalled about 60,000 bottles of California Gold Nutrition iron-containing supplements on June 26, 2025.
- The recall follows federal child-safety rules violations because the packaging lacked required child-resistant caps, creating a poisoning risk for young children if ingested.
- The recall includes three California Gold Nutrition supplements: a prenatal multivitamin, a standard women's multivitamin, and a women's multivitamin designed for those aged 50 and over. These products were available for purchase online from January 2019 until April 2025 through major retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, and Target.
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission warned that the absence of child-resistant packaging increases the danger of life-threatening iron poisoning if young children accidentally ingest the supplements, and advised consumers to keep these products out of children's reach and to request refunds.
- No injuries have been reported, but the recall highlights ongoing concerns about online marketplace safety and supports calls for stronger product regulation such as the UK's Product Regulation and Metrology Bill.
