Millions of bottles of Airborne Gummies are being voluntarily recalled because the containers containing the immune supplement pose an injury hazard when opened for the first time.
According to a recall notice posted Wednesday on the Consumer Product Safety Commission website, the manufacturer Reckitt, also known as RB Health (US) LLC, has received “70 reports of the cap or seal popping off the bottles, including 18 reports of minor injuries and one report of an eye injury requiring medical attention.”
The recall is for select 63 and 75 count bottles of Airborne Gummies in blueberry pomegranate, orange and assorted fruit flavors.
“Bottles that have already been opened are not subject to this recall as they would have released any pressure build up and do not present an injury hazard,” Reckitt says in a recall notice at Schiffvitamins.com.
