Units: About 8,200

This recall involves The Vitamin Shoppe's Vthrive Bioactive Women's One-Daily Multi vitamins. The 60-count capsules were sold in an amber bottle with a gray top.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The multivitamins' packaging is not child resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The capsules inside the bottle contain iron, which can cause serious injury or death to young children if multiple tablets are ingested at once.
