Trader Darwin's Chewable Melatonin Recalled for Misbranding and Wrong Product Contents

Church & Dwight is recalling Trader Darwin's Chewable Peppermint Flavored Melatonin because bottles contain GABA Calm Sublingual Orange tablets instead.

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. The hazard is misbranding and product identity error (wrong tablets in the bottle), which falls under minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination without reported injuries or illnesses.
