Recall Issued for Bariatric Fusion Vitamins Due to Missing Child-Safe Caps
A recall has been issued for Bariatric Fusion multivitamins due to packaging lacking child-resistant caps, preventing potential accidental iron poisoning in children. Consumers are urged to act immediately.
A precautionary recall has been announced for approximately 4,700 bottles of Bariatric Fusion iron-based multivitamins, following concerns over packaging safety standards. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that these bottles, sold online through platforms such as Amazon.com, bariatricfusion.com, and other retailers between January and June 2025, lack mandatory child-resistant caps.
The absence of protective caps increases the risk of children opening the bottles and accidentally ingesting the high-iron content vitamins, which can be dangerous. Iron poisoning in children can lead to severe health complications or even death.
The recalled products include various high-dose ADEK multivitamin capsules available in 90- and 270-count bottles, as well as one-per-day bariatric multivitamin capsules sold in 90-count bottles. Identifiable by lot numbers 0066J4, 0065J4, 0453B5, or 0370B5, printed on the bottom of the bottles, only those with smooth caps—without the "push down & turn" embossing—are part of the recall.
No injuries or incidents have been reported so far. Consumers are advised to store the affected bottles out of children's reach immediately. They can contact Blueroot Health for a free replacement cap with proper child-resistant features. The company provides a toll-free number at 866-259-0602, available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, or they can email support@bariatricfusion.com or visit bariatricfusion.com/product-safety for more information.
For complete details, the full recall notice is available on the CPSC website. This proactive measure aims to prevent accidental poisoning and ensure consumer safety.
