Bariatric Fusion Bags of Soft Chews Iron With Vitamin C
The notice asks people to return it — see below for how.
What’s wrong
The packaging is not child-resistant and senior friendly as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The chews inside the package contain iron, which can cause serious injury or death to young children if multiple chews are ingested.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — The agency describes a risk of serious injury or death.
