Multivitamin with Fluoride Recall Affects 25 States Due to Subpotent Vitamin D Levels
A chewable multivitamin, Multivitamin with Fluoride, is being voluntarily recalled across 25 states after a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection revealed the product contained lower-than-intended levels of vitamin D. The recall, initiated by Winder Laboratories, LLC, impacts specific lots of the grape-flavored tablets.
What’s Being Recalled?
The recall involves two versions of Multivitamin with Fluoride Chewable Tablets:
- 0.25 mg Fluoride: Bottles of 100 tablets with NDC 75826-169-10 and UPC 3 15826 16910 2.
- 1.0 mg Fluoride: Bottles of 100 tablets with NDC 75826-171-10 and UPC 3 15826 17110 5.
