Factors Group of Nutritional Companies Inc. is recalling various multivitamins and supplements sold under a variety of brand names due to the potential presence of metal fibres (see table above). The affected products may contain metal fibres which, if ingested, may cause injury to the digestive system. The risk of harm due to the presence of iron is higher in individuals with a peptic ulcer, regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, iron allergy, or for those taking high doses of iron supplements, levodopa, and/or levothyroxine. Health Canada is monitoring the company’s recall and implementation of preventative and corrective actions. If additional safety information is identified, Health Canada will take appropriate action and inform Canadians, as needed.
