Child-Safety Flaw Sparks Multivitamin Recall
2 Feb
Summary
- Multivitamin packaging lacks child-resistant safety features.
- Recall issued due to potential iron poisoning risk for children.
- Company offers free child-resistant replacement caps.
Mindbodygreen has initiated a recall of roughly 148,370 bottles of Ultimate Multivitamin+ after federal regulators identified a child-resistant packaging violation. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on January 29, 2026, emphasizing the potential for serious harm or fatality if children ingest the capsules.
The affected dietary supplements, sold exclusively online between November 2021 and November 2025, were packaged in amber glass bottles with black caps. The recall specifically addresses the bottle caps, which failed to meet the mandated child-resistant standards under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. This is critical because the supplement contains iron, a substance requiring special packaging to prevent accidental poisoning in young children.
According to Emma Engler, Scientific Affairs Manager at Mindbodygreen, the recall is solely related to the packaging and not the supplement itself, which remains safe and high-quality for adult use. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date. Consumers are advised to keep the product away from children and can request a free, child-resistant replacement cap by contacting Mindbodygreen.
