Pentavite Multivitamin + Iron Kids Chewables, pack size 60s

Pentavite Pty Ltd is recalling two batches of Pentavite Multivitamin + Iron Kids Chewables because the product is missing required warning statements on the label.

What is the problem?

The product does not include the required label warnings alerting consumers to the presence of sulphites and sugars, and that they should consult a health professional if they have any concerns.

What are the risks?

Individuals with allergies to sulphites could experience symptoms ranging from mild (such as hives and stomach upset) to severe (such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, or in rare cases anaphylaxis).

Sugar content in the product may also be unsuitable for children with conditions like diabetes, obesity, or dietary restrictions.

What should I do?

• Check your product to see if it is from one of the above batches. If it is, do not use it.
• You may return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Alternatively, contact Pentavite Pty Ltd at support@pentavite.com or call 03 9828 9400 to organise a return and refund.
• Anyone who is concerned in any way about the use of this product should consult their healthcare professional.
