Rae Wellness Prenatal and Immunity Capsules Lack Child-Resistant Packaging

Rae Wellness has recalled approximately 191,200 units of Prenatal and Immunity Capsules because the bottles do not have child-resistant packaging as required by law. The iron-containing supplements pose a risk of poisoning if swallowed by young children.

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 iron-containing dietary supplements in non-child-resistant packaging, which is a risk-of-harm hazard directed at a vulnerable population (young children). No illnesses or injuries have been reported, so per the rubric the score is at most 3. The specific hazard (potential poisoning of children by iron ingestion due to packaging failure) and the vulnerable population justify a "High" severity rating.

Plain-English summary

Rae Wellness, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is recalling Rae Prenatal Capsules and Rae Immunity Capsules sold in 60-capsule bottles. Both products contain iron and are required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) to be in child-resistant packaging. The bottles in this recall do not meet this requirement, creating a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.

The recalled products were sold at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com, ThriveMarket.com, Amazon.com, FabFitFun.com, and StandardDose.com. Rae Prenatal Capsules were sold from September 2019 through February 2022, and Rae Immunity Capsules from October 2020 through February 2022, for approximately $15 per bottle. Approximately 191,200 units are affected.
