Fusion Bariatric Vitamin Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

On September 11, 2025, Blueroot Health worked with the CPSC to recall roughly 4,700 Bariatric Fusion iron-multivitamin bottles. Their caps failed a federal child-safety standard.

The recall covers two products – High ADEK Multivitamin and One Per Day Bariatric Multivitamin – identified by lot codes 0066J4, 0065J4, 0453B5, and 0370B5. The caps are not child-resistant, risking deadly poisoning if a child swallows the iron inside.

Owners should move affected bottles out of children’s reach and reach out to Blueroot Health for a free replacement cap. The recall remains open, with no injuries reported and no termination announced.

Latest Bariatric Fusion Iron Multivitamin Recall Updates

September 11, 2025: CPSC Announces the Recall

Blueroot Health, in cooperation with the CPSC, recalled about 4,700 bottles of Bariatric Fusion iron multivitamins. The bottles were sold under lots 0066J4, 0065J4, 0453B5, and 0370B5, because the bottle caps are not child-resistant [1].

The bottles sold on Amazon.com and bariatricfusion.com from January through June 2025 for $23 to $57. Blueroot Health is offering free replacement caps, and no injuries have been reported.

Which Fusion Bariatric Vitamins Are Affected?

The recall affects two Bariatric Fusion iron multivitamin products, each sold in bottles marked with one of four lot numbers on the bottom:

• Bariatric Fusion High ADEK Multivitamin, 90-count and 270-count bottles, 45 mg of iron, lot 0066J4, 0065J4, 0453B5, or 0370B5
• Bariatric Fusion One Per Day Bariatric Multivitamin, 90-count bottle, 45 mg of iron, lot 0066J4, 0065J4, 0453B5, or 0370B5

VitaQuest International, LLC manufactured the bottles for distributor Blueroot Health. Only bottles with a smooth cap that lacks embossed “push down & turn” lettering are included in the recall.

Consumers unsure whether a bottle qualifies can compare the cap and lot number against the description above. They can also contact Blueroot Health directly for help.

Why Were the Fusion Bariatric Vitamins Recalled?

Bariatric Fusion iron multivitamins were recalled because their bottle caps are not child-resistant. This violates the mandatory federal standard set by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.

The Act requires child-resistant packaging for household products containing enough iron to seriously harm a young child who swallows them. Non-child-resistant caps raise that risk directly.

Bariatric Fusion’s product-safety page confirms the recall is limited to the bottle caps and does not cover the multivitamins themselves [2].

The recalled bottles are white and orange, with the Bariatric Fusion logo printed on the front of each bottle, matching the CPSC notice’s own written description of the affected product line.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The CPSC recall notice reports no injuries, illnesses, or deaths connected to the affected caps, as of the September 11, 2025 announcement date.

Blueroot Health and the CPSC based the recall on the packaging violation itself. The CPSC lists this action as recall number 25-460, the reference number consumers can cite when they contact the agency about the recalled bottles.

No later CPSC update, recall expansion, or injury report had been announced as of the date this page was last checked.

Anyone who believes a child was exposed to a recalled bottle should still seek medical advice right away, even without visible symptoms. They should also report the incident to SaferProducts.gov.

What Should Consumers Do?

If you own a Bariatric Fusion bottle that matches one of the four affected lot numbers, take these steps right away:

1. Secure the recalled bottles out of the sight and reach of children right away.
2. Contact Blueroot Health toll-free at 866-259-0602 (8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday), by email at support@bariatricfusion.com, or online at bariatricfusion.com/pages/product-safety to request a free replacement cap. Report safety concerns to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov or 800-638-2772.
3. When the new child-resistant cap arrives, swap it onto the bottle, then dispose of the old cap.
4. Watch for nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain if a child may have swallowed the supplement. A StatPearls clinical review and Poison Control note symptoms can fade for hours before a worse relapse [3, 4].
5. Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 or use the web POISON CONTROL tool right away if a child swallowed any amount.

Legal Options

No lawsuit has been filed over the Bariatric Fusion recall. Schmidt & Clark is reviewing potential claims tied to the non-child-resistant packaging and the poisoning risk it created. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for filing a legal claim over this recall come from state law. They are not stated in the recall notice, and this page does not list them either.

Where you live affects how much time you have. So does when the exposure or injury happened. Because deadlines vary this way, no single number of years applies to every reader here.

Missing this window can end a claim, even when the facts are strong. Anyone thinking about a claim over the recalled bottle caps should reach out to a lawyer soon rather than wait.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There a Deadline to Request My Free Bariatric Fusion Replacement Cap?

No specific deadline appears in the CPSC recall notice or on Blueroot Health’s product-safety page for requesting the free replacement cap. The offer has stayed open since the recall began, though acting sooner lowers the time a non-child-resistant cap stays on a bottle in the home.

What Are the Symptoms of Iron Poisoning in Children?

The symptoms of iron poisoning in children start with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In serious cases they can progress to shock, seizures, coma, or organ failure. Symptoms can fade for several hours before this delayed danger sets in, so any swallowed dose needs quick medical attention.

Does the Bariatric Fusion Recall Cover the Multivitamins Themselves or Just the Bottle Caps?

This recall covers only the bottle caps and not the multivitamins themselves inside each bottle. You do not need to return the capsules. The company mails a new child-resistant cap. You keep using the same bottle once you swap it on.

Does Accepting a Free Replacement Cap Affect My Legal Rights?

Taking the free replacement cap does not, on its own, affect your legal rights or give up your right to pursue a claim later. Read anything the company asks you to sign – a release or waiver could limit your options. When in doubt, ask a lawyer first.

What Should I Do If My Child Swallowed a Bariatric Fusion Vitamin?

If your child swallowed a Bariatric Fusion vitamin, call the National Poison Control line at 1-800-222-1222 or try their online tool. Do this even if your child seems fine. Symptoms like vomiting can show up hours later, so keep the amount and your child’s age ready to share.

How Long Will It Take to Receive a Replacement Cap?

Neither the CPSC recall notice nor the company’s product-safety page says how long it takes to receive a replacement cap. The process begins once you reach out by phone, email, or the website. Follow up with them if the cap has not arrived within a reasonable time.
