Metal Reported in Church & Dwight Gummy Melatonin, Multis & Fiber Supplements
On April 20, 2021, Church & Dwight Co., Inc. recalled 13 lots of seven gummy supplements, including melatonin, multivitamin and fiber products, after a company investigation revealed the possible presence of a metallic mesh material in product lots manufactured in a four-day period (between October 29 and November 3, 2020). The investigation was initiated after reports from two consumers.
In some severe cases, ingesting a metallic material could lead to damage of the digestive tract. To date, Church & Dwight and the FDA have not received any reports of illness or injury from the manufacturing issue.
These products (see recall photos) were distributed to in-store and e-commerce retailers from November 13, 2020 through April 9, 2021. They can be further identified by the following:
