An active recall has been issued for a liquid multivitamin supplement sold across 24 states and territories due to contamination concerns, federal regulators announced.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the action as a Class II recall Tuesday over concerns it may contain a “black particulate matter” or “foreign object”.
A Class II classification indicates that consuming the affected product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
