What this means for you

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 supplements) where serious injury or death is possible for young children due to non-compliant packaging, but no injuries have been reported.

Plain-English summary

FoodState Inc. of Derry, N.H., is recalling approximately 7,400 bottles of MegaFood One Daily Supplements. The recalled products are brown glass bottles containing 60, 90, or 180 tablets. The bottles feature a yellow label with the words "MegaFood," "Fresh From Farm To Tablet," "One Daily," "Nourish," "Balance," and "Replenish" printed above a picture of vegetables. Specific product codes and lot numbers are listed on the left side of the front label.

The recall is being conducted because the packaging is not child-resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The supplement tablets inside the bottles contain iron, which can cause serious injury or death to young children if multiple tablets are ingested at once. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The affected bottles were sold at Sprouts Farmers Market, Vitamin Cottage, Whole Foods Market, and other natural food stores nationwide from June 2012 to October 2012 for between $39 and $90.
