Solaray Liposomal Multivitamins Recalled for Non-Child-Resistant Packaging

Nutraceutical Corporation is recalling approximately 85,300 bottles of Solaray Liposomal Multivitamins because the packaging does not meet child-resistant requirements under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, creating a poisoning risk for 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: This recall involves iron-containing products lacking required child-resistant packaging, which creates a clear risk of harm to children through poisoning. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the regulatory violation and inherent risk to a vulnerable population (young children) meet the criteria for a High severity rating.

Plain-English summary

Nutraceutical Corporation, of Salt Lake City, Utah, is recalling Solaray Liposomal Multivitamins in three formulations: Solaray Liposomal Women's (60 and 120 count), Solaray Universal Multivitamin (60 and 120 count), and Solaray Liposomal Women's 50+ Multivitamin (120 count). Approximately 85,300 bottles are affected. The bottles are clear silver color with white pop-top lids and white labels displaying the Solaray logo and product information. All lots are included in the recall.

The dietary supplements contain iron, which is subject to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) requirement for child-resistant packaging. The recalled products do not have child-resistant packaging, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. No injuries have been reported.

The products were sold at health food stores nationwide, including Natural Groceries by Vitamin Cottage, Sprouts Farmer's Market, Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods, and Fresh Thyme Farmer's Market, from April 2022 through July 2023, priced between $40 and $50 for the 60-count bottles and between $55 and $70 for the 120-count bottles.
