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.”

I have 2 bottles of fiber well gummies
I received an email from Costco about the recall a couple weeks ago. I bought the vitamins in Nov but didn’t start taking them until Dec. I was violently ill for months. Missed work went to Drs had a surgical procedure. They thought it was my gallbladder at first but it wasn’t. I had vomiting almost daily, huge GI problems. We thought it might be cancer but that was negative. They tried treating me for other things but the symptoms kept coming back. I missed a couple months of work but I had to go back so I wouldn’t eat all day so I wouldn’t get sick then would eat when I got home and get sick there. It was the worst time of my life not knowing what was wrong with me. I stopped taking the vitamins when I got the recall notice and have been gradually feeling better everyday. I still have the bottle of vitamins and haven’t decided what I want to do about everything. A friend recommended googling if there were any lawsuits and I came across your article.
I never received a letter and just happened to fall into this article. The one vitamin that doesn’t make me vomit would have to be recalled….
