Recall initiated for Solaray Liposomal Multivitamins over non-child-resistant packaging

Multivitamin recall overview: 

• Who: Nutraceutical Corporation recalled 85,300 of its Solaray Liposomal Multivitamins. 
• Why: The multivitamins contain iron and must be packaged in a child-resistant package yet are not, creating a poisoning risk.
• Where: The Solaray Liposomal Multivitamin recall is effective across the United States.

Nutraceutical Corporation announced a recall for 85,300 of its Solaray Liposomal Multivitamins because the multivitamins contain iron and the packaging is not child-resistant.

The Poison Prevention Packaging Act requires child-resistant packaging as the multivitamins can be poisonous if swallowed by small children, the recall says.

The multivitamin recall includes Solaray Liposomal Women’s Multivitamin in 60- and 120-count packages, Solaray Universal Multivitamin in 60- and 120-count packages and Solaray Liposomal Women’s 50+ Multivitamin in 120-count. The SKU for the recalled multivitamins include 076280193251, 076280339536, 076280640168, 076280830385 and 076280154832, according to the multivitamin recall.

The bottles are a clear silver color with white pop-top lids, the recall states. The white label on the front of the bottles displays the Solaray logo, product name, product type and size count.

Remove multivitamins from children, contact Nutraceutical for refund, replacement, recall says

Nutraceutical Corporation says it has not received reports of illness related to the recall. The company is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

The company asks consumers to store the multivitamins out of the reach and sight of children and contact Nutraceutical Corporation on the proper disposal of the multivitamins and a refund or replacement with a child-resistant package.

Consumers can reach Nutraceutical Corporation at (800) 227-6063 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday to Friday, via email at info@nutracorp.com or online.
