Leiner Health Products, of Carson, Calif., has recalled 13,000 of Long's Central-Vite multivitamins because they do not have child-resistant packaging.
The vitamins, which contain iron that can cause serious injury or death if ingested by children, do not have child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
The recalled Central Vite multivitamins were sold in a value size container of 500 tablets at Long's retail stores nationwide from March 2004 through December 2004 for about $16.
The plastic white pill bottle is labeled Advanced Formula Central Vite with Lycopene and Value Size.
Consumers should keep the product out of reach of children and return the product to a Long's retail store for a refund or replacement, or contact Leiner Health Products at 800-421-1168.
