Plain-English summary

Nature's Truth LLC is recalling approximately 520 bottles of Nature's Truth Slow Release 45 mg Iron Supplements. The recalled product consists of 60-count coated tablets sold in a green bottle with a green flip-top cap. The bottles feature a yellow label with the text "Nature's Truth," "SLOW RELEASE IRON," and "45 mg." The specific lot number is 29672, and the expiration date is January 2019.
