Why Was This Product Recalled?
The FDA identified the possible presence of foreign black particulate matter inside bottles of the recalled supplement. The source has not been publicly disclosed. Foreign matter in a dietary supplement can cause injury if consumed, including lacerations to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract, choking, or internal injury. The FDA’s Class II classification indicates serious adverse health consequences are considered remote, but temporary or medically reversible health effects are possible. The supplement is marketed as a kidney support multivitamin, meaning it is likely used daily by people managing chronic kidney conditions who may be more vulnerable to health complications.
