iHerb has recalled 60,000 bottles of California Gold Nutrition Iron Supplements

• iHerb has recalled 60,000 bottles and blister packs of California Gold Nutrition iron-containing supplements due to lack of child-resistant packaging, posing a risk of fatal poisoning to children.
  

• The recall affects three supplement types—Daily Prenatal Multi, Ultamins Women’s Multivitamin, and Ultamins Women’s 50+ Multivitamin—sold online between January 2019 and April 2025.
  

• Consumers are urged to secure the products away from children and contact iHerb for a refund after submitting photo evidence of safe disposal.

Health and wellness retailer iHerb has issued a recall of approximately 60,000 units of its California Gold Nutrition iron-containing supplements due to packaging that fails to meet federal child safety standards. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that the recalled packaging is not child-resistant, presenting a serious risk of injury or death if ingested by young children.

The recall affects three products commonly purchased for women’s health and prenatal support:

• Daily Prenatal Multi

• Ultamins Women’s Multivitamin

• Ultamins Women’s 50+ Multivitamin
  

These supplements were sold online from January 2019 through April 2025 on major platforms including Amazon, Walmart, and Target, priced between $8 and $18.

Under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, iron-containing supplements must be packaged in child-resistant containers. The recalled bottles and blister packs do not comply, which could allow young children to access and ingest the contents, potentially leading to deadly iron poisoning.

Though no injuries have been reported to date, officials are urging immediate action.

“These supplements pose a hidden danger if left within reach of young children. The packaging must protect against accidental ingestion,” the recall notice states.
