Kid’s Multivitamin Recalled for Label Error

FoodScience Corporation of Essex Junction, Vermont voluntarily recalled approximately 1, 250 bottles of its Children’s Multi- Vitamins.

The label indicated that the suggested use for children ages 3-5 was 1 chewable tablet, and children ages 6-12, 2-3 chewable tablets. However, the label should have read ages 4-16 take 1 chewable tablet daily.
