Nature's Blend Folic Acid Recalled for Labeling Error

National Vitamin Company is recalling Nature's Blend Folic Acid 1000 mcg bottles due to a front panel label error stating 1000 mg instead of 1000 mcg.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a minor labeling error regarding unit notation (mg vs mcg) on the front panel, which falls under the 'Low' severity criteria for documentation or packaging-only problems.

Plain-English summary

National Vitamin Company Inc is voluntarily recalling 3,370 bottles of Nature's Blend Folic Acid 1000 mcg Dietary Supplement. The product is a 1000-count bottle with Product Number 1280 and UPC 0-79854-51280-9. The affected lots are 9JA08 and 9JA09, with an expiration date of 10/22.

The recall was initiated due to customer reports of a labeling error. The front panel of the bottle incorrectly states the strength as 1000 mg, while the Supplement Facts panel correctly lists the strength as 1000 mcg. This discrepancy is a documentation and packaging issue rather than a change in the actual product content.

The affected product was distributed in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. Consumers who purchased this product should check their bottles for the specific lot numbers and expiration date listed above.
