The Vitamin Shoppe Vthrive Bioactive Multivitamins
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The multivitamins' packaging is not child resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The capsules inside the bottle contain iron, which can cause serious injury or death to young children if multiple tablets are ingested at once.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — The agency describes a risk of serious injury or death.
