Recall Alert: Recall Issued for Gummy Vitamins Over Metallic Mesh

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall notice for vitafusion gummy vitamins, including kid’s products after the manufacturer discovered metallic mesh in certain lots.  

On Tuesday, Church & Dwight Co., Inc recalled seven types of gummy vitamins after an investigation into consumer reports of mesh in the products. The recalled gummy vitamins include:  

• vitafusion Kids Melatonin, 50 count 
• vitafusion FiberWell, 220 count 
• vitafusion SleepWell, 250 count 
• vitafusion MultiVites, 150 count 
• vitafusion Melatonin, 44 count 
• vitafusion Melatonin, 140 count 
• vitafusion FiberWell, 90 count 

The gummy vitamin recall is limited to products manufactured between Oct. 29 and Nov. 3, 2020. The products were sold in-store and online between Nov. 13 and April 9. Recalled products can be identified using their Universal Product Code (UPC) and Lot Code. The UPC and lot codes subject to this recall can be found on the FDA’s notice.  

While no injuries have been reported, metallic mesh can cause digestive tract damage, warns the agency, and consumers should not consume any of the recalled gummy vitamins.  

Consumers can contact Church & Dwight’s customer service line at 1 (800) 981-4710 for a full refund. After contacting the manufacturer for a refund, consumers should throw out the recalled gummy vitamins.  

Top Class Actions will continue to monitor this and other recalls in the interest of consumer safety. While no legal action related to this gummy vitamin recall has been reported, manufacturer Chruch & Dwight has been accused of falsely marketing certain products. Indeed, just last year, a federal judge refused to dismiss a class action claiming that Church & Dwight falsely advertised certain multivitamins as “complete.”
