60,000 Bottles of Women’s Vitamins Recalled for Poisoning Risk—Check Your Cabinet

Heads up, moms— if you've got women's vitamins stashed in your cabinet, it's time to double-check those labels.

More than 60,000 bottles of multivitamins from California Gold Nutrition have just been recalled. And no, the vitamins themselves aren't spoiled or contaminated; the issue is the packaging. These bottles weren't made child-resistant, and since they contain iron, that's a serious problem. Iron can be hazardous for young kids if accidentally swallowed.

Here's what you need to know — quickly and clearly.

What Got Recalled?

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the alert on June 26. The recall involves three different multivitamin products, all sold under the California Gold Nutrition brand, which is made by iHerb.

The products affected are:

• Daily Prenatal Multivitamin

• Ultamins Women's Multivitamin

• Ultamins Women's 50+ Multivitamin

These vitamins come in white bottles with white lids and purple or gold border labels. Most contain 60 capsules or soft gels. All were sold online from January 2019 to April 2025.

Why Is Iron a Big Deal?

Most of us think of iron as something good for our health, and it is, in the correct dose. But for small children, swallowing just a handful of adult iron supplements can be fatal. That's why iron-containing supplements are required by law to come in child-resistant packaging.

These ones slipped through without meeting that safety rule.

So, while the supplements themselves are not "bad," little hands could open the bottle way too easily, and that's the real danger here.

Which Batches to Watch Out For

Here's a quick cheat sheet to help you check your bottles:

Daily Prenatal Multivitamin

• Batch codes: 2307050A, 2404096A, 2411100A

• Expiration dates: 08/2025, 05/2026, 11/2026

Ultamins Women's Multivitamin

• Batch codes: V0532, V0533

• Expiration dates: 11/2026, 07/2026

Ultamins Women's 50+ Multivitamin

• Batch codes: V0534, V0536

• Expiration dates: 07/2026, 11/2026

Sold Where?

These were sold at various locations, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and other major retailers. If you've ordered supplements online, especially for pregnancy or general women's health, they may have come from this batch.

Even though this is a packaging recall, not a product contamination, the CPSC recommends not using them. Better safe than sorry.

What to Do If You Have One

First, put the bottle out of reach of children immediately. Then, you can request a refund through iHerb.

Here's how:

1. Email ProductRecall@iherb.com with the subject line "Iron Supplement Refund."

2. Include your name, product(s), how many bottles you bought, and a photo of each bottle labeled with your initials and the date.

3. If you still have the order number, include that as well.

You can also call iHerb at 888-430-4770 or visit their website for more info.

The Takeaway

This is a packaging error, not a product flaw, but it still poses a serious safety concern. If there's even a chance a curious toddler could grab one of these bottles, it's worth taking a minute to check.

And remember to always keep supplements up high and locked away. Even the "healthy stuff" can be dangerous in tiny hands.
