Vita Health Recalls Numerous "Over-the-Counter" Products Because of Labelling Errors

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 09/06/13 -- Health Canada wishes to inform Canadians that Vita Health Products Inc. has voluntarily recalled a variety of health products from the Canadian market because of labelling issues. The recalled products pose a risk to health because the labels contain errors such as suggesting packages are child resistant when they are not, or are missing warning statements for consumers with allergies or existing medical conditions.

The products include "over-the-counter" and a natural health product such as anti-inflammatory, cold and flu, allergy and sinus, and acetaminophen medications.

Vita Health is reviewing its product labels and putting actions in place to address the labelling issues. Health Canada has not received any information suggesting the quality of the products on the list below is affected.

If you have used or purchased a Vita Health product and are concerned about its impact on your health, please consult your healthcare practitioner. Consumers are also encouraged to return the product to the place of purchase or call Vita Health at 1-800-665-8820, Monday-Friday 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. EDT for further instruction.

Health Canada is monitoring the recalls by Vita Health and will continue to provide updates to Canadians as warranted. Canadians can monitor the table below for additions to the list of recalled products. The table includes a complete list of products recalled by Vita Health to date.
