More Than 17,000 Bottles of 3 Trusted Diet Supplements Recalled Nationwide

Around 30% of Americans could be experiencing iron deficiencies, say multiple sources, including one 2024 American Medical Association-published study. Whether it’s from dietary patterns, a side effect of medication, or another factor, low iron often goes under-the-radar with few symptoms. In more serious cases it can lead to consequences such as low oxygen levels, which the Mayo Clinic points out can cause fatigue or shortness of breath, among other possible issues.

In many cases, a healthcare professional’s response to treat low iron is with an over-the-counter iron supplement. But on Thursday, March 27, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a nationwide recall on “about 17,660” bottles of three different iron supplements that go by the brand NFH. Those products are the following:

• NFH Iron SAP
• NFH Heme Iron SAP
• NFH Prenatal SAP

Though National Fundamentals for Health (NFH), the listed manufacturer and importer, is in Canada, the company’s website currently displays a banner with the recall news “for clients from the USA.”

The iron supplements were recalled not because of the supplements themselves—but rather because of their packaging, which “did not require those child-resistant requirements,” reports the CPSC, “posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.”

A 2023 annual report from the National Poison Data System found exposure to dietary supplements, herbals, and homeopathic products was the fifth most common reason Americans reached out to poison centers for pediatric cases. Just last week, bottles of liquid Benadryl were recalled for the same reported shortfall.

The Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA), which is overseen by the CPSC, requires certain substances in the U.S. to be packaged in a way that is “designed or constructed to be significantly difficult for children under 5 years of age to open within a reasonable time and not difficult for adults to use properly.”

The recalled bottle details include:

The recalled bottles were sold between March 2022 and December 2024 at “Multiple naturopathic/homeopathic clinics nationwide, A Woman’s Time, Doctor Supplement stores and online at WholescriptsInc.com and Natural Partners (Fullscript.com),” per the report. The bottle prices ranged from $20 to $95.

Though the recall only affects the bottles—the supplementals inside appear to be safe to consume—the CPSC recommends consumers should “immediately secure the recalled supplement bottles out of sight and reach of children.” NFH is reaching out to all known purchasers directly, says the CPSC, and consumers can reach out to the NFH for information on how to obtain a free replacement bottle that is also child-resistant. Contact information for NFH is included in the CPSC link.
