Nature Made Multi Vitamins Recalled Due to Reduced Potency

Pharmavite is recalling Nature Made Multi vitamins because quality tests show Vitamins B1 and B12 are losing potency faster than expected.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a voluntary precautionary measure regarding potency loss, which aligns with the rubric for moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

Pharmavite LLC is conducting a voluntary recall of all lots of its Nature Made Full Strength Mini Multivitamins, which were recently repackaged as "Multi" softgels. The recall includes specific products such as Multi Complete, Multi for Her, Multi for Her 50+, Multi for Him, and Multi Complete club size.

The recall is being issued because recent quality tests indicate that Vitamins B1 and B12 in these products are losing potency more rapidly than initially expected. As a result, the products are not meeting the required potency standards.

Approximately 130,280 bottles were distributed nationwide in the United States. Consumers should stop using the recalled products and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or follow instructions provided by the manufacturer.
