H.E.B. Vitamins with Iron Recalled for Missing Child-Resistant Packaging

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.
