In yet another recall this past week, the FDA advises consumers to be aware of the suggested dosage amounts in children’s multi-vitamins. According to reports released last week by the FDA, parents should know that, “The label currently indicates a suggested use of 1 chewable tablet for ages 3-5 and 2-3 chewable tablets for ages 6-12. The label should read ages 4-16 take 1 chewable tablet daily.”
It is unclear what specific locations carry these vitamins, but we’ve compiled a list of brands you should know are being recalled:
DaVinci Laboratories of Vermont Kid’s Mighty Vites (90 tablet bottle)
FoodScience of Vermont Kids Superior (90 tablet bottle)
Mountain Naturals of Vermont Kid’s Superior (90 tablet bottle)
