The multivitamin contained vitamin b-complex, vitamin c and folic acid, and were sold in 8-fluid-ounce bottles in the following regions: Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

The recalled product has a printed lot code of “B2025” and expiration date “08/27” printed on its bottle. Check your liquid multivitamin, and if you have the matching recalled item on hand, dispose of it or return to your place of purchase for a potential refund. The recalled vitamins could have been purchased as early as February 2026 through May.

According to the FDA, the recall was issued due to a “foreign object” found in the supplements, specifically “black particulate matter.” On May 19, this alert was classified as a Class II recall, meaning consuming the liquid multivitamin may lead to minor, temporary health problems. Seek medical attention if you are experiencing any health concerns.
