Where: The recall is effective in the United States.
Vitaquest International is recalling more than 356,000 units of iron-containing dietary supplements due to packaging that fails to meet child-resistant standards. This oversight presents a serious risk of poisoning if young children accidentally ingest the Vitaquest supplements.
The recall, announced on April 9, affects a range of products from brands, including Arey, Bari Life, Bird&Be, Biote, Dr. Fuhrman, NuLife, HMR, Bariatric Pal, Noevir, Zenbean and Sakara.
These products, which include multivitamins and prenatal supplements, are packaged in containers that do not comply with the Poison Prevention Packaging Act’s requirements for child-resistant packaging.
“The dietary supplements contain iron, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act,” the recall notice states.

The recall affects products sold nationwide at various retailers, including Credo Beauty, Erewhon and The Vitamin Shoppe, as well as online platforms like Amazon.com, from April 2023 through February 2026.
Vitaquest International is taking steps to mitigate the risk by offering free replacement caps or storage pouches that meet child-resistant standards.
