Parents are being urged to check the lot codes of certain infant formulas sold under the CVS Health brand name after the recall of a number of products due to elevated levels of vitamin D.
The products recalled were sold in Rhode Island and were also shipped to other states, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) said in a statement.
Perrigo Company issued the recall due to levels of vitamin D above the maximum level permitted for the product. While short-term consumption of the affected products is unlikely to cause any adverse health implications for most infants, there is a potential risk for those with existing health conditions.
Parents and caregivers who have purchased any of the products are urged to contact their health care professional if they have any concerns and to look for the lot codes below with the “use by” dates. The recalled products were sold under the brand name CVS Health.
Recall Notice
Recall of Certain Infant Formula Sold Under CVS Health Brand Name
The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) is advising consumers that Perrigo Company is recalling certain cans of store brand Premium Infant Formula with Iron Milk-Based Powder due to levels of Vitamin D above the maximum level permitted. These products were available in CVS locations in Rhode Island. They were sold under the brand name CVS Health. (See product label attached.)
The recalled products were also shipped to other states, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
For most infants, short-term consumption of the affected lot codes is unlikely to cause adverse health implications. In a small subset of infants with existing health conditions (for example, impaired renal function), there is the potential that consumption of the recalled product could result in health complications. Parents and caregivers who may have purchased the product should look for the lot codes below with “use by” dates, which can be found on the bottom of the package and should contact their healthcare professional if they have any concerns.
Product shipped to CVS beginning February 6, 2024, being recalled:
