In a statement released, the agency said the brands of vitamins, known as CINCINNATI (WKRC), sold nationwide at retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, and Target, are being recalled due to the risk of serious injury or death from poisoning, especially for children.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a recall alert for certain batches of multivitamins and iron supplements in the United States.
In a statement released, the agency said the brands of vitamins, known as CINCINNATI (WKRC), sold nationwide at retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, and Target, are being recalled due to the risk of serious injury or death from poisoning, especially for children.
According to a recall report from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, around 60,000 units of iHerb/California Gold Nutrition Iron Supplements Multivitamins that were recalled are: Daily Prenatal Multi, Ultamins Women’s Multivitamin, and Ultamins Women’s 50+ Multivitamin.
The authorities discovered that the packages lack child-resistant packaging, which poses a risk of fatal poisoning if young children swallow the contents.
The agency stated that healthcare professionals and consumers are advised to report any suspicion of the sale of substandard and falsified medicines or medical devices to the nearest NAFDAC office, call 0800-162-3322, or send an email to sf.alert@nafdac.gov.ng.
