What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (iron-containing vitamins without child-resistant packaging) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria.
Plain-English summary
The Perrigo Co. of South Carolina is recalling approximately 14,000 bottles of H.E.B. Super B-Complex vitamins with iron and 300 mg Vitamin C. The product consists of 80 caplets in a white plastic bottle with a blue lid, labeled "H.E.B. and Super B-Complex with Iron and 300 mg Vitamin C" and "Energy Metabolism."
The recall was issued because the vitamins contain iron but do not have child-resistant packaging, as required by federal law. This defect could cause serious injury or death if the product is ingested by a child. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
The recalled product was sold at H.E.B. retail stores in Texas from December 2003 through April 2005 for about $4. Consumers should keep the product out of the reach of children and return it to the nearest H.E.B. retail store for a refund or replacement. For more information, consumers can call The Perrigo Co. of South Carolina toll-free at (866) 354-3815 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.heb.com.
