Fusion Bariatric Vitamin Recall Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

What’s the Problem?

On September 11, 2025, Blueroot Health issued a recall for about 4,700 bottles of Bariatric Fusion iron multivitamins manufactured by VitaQuest International because their caps are not child-resistant, violating the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, and posing risk of serious injury or death from iron poisoning if young children ingest the contents.

The recalled items include “High ADEK Multivitamin” capsules (90-count and 270-count bottles) and “One Per Day” bariatric multivitamin capsules (90-count), all with 45 mg of iron, sold online via Amazon, bariatricfusion.com, and other websites from January through June 2025.

Although no actual poisoning incidents have been reported, the hazard is severe enough that parents must recognize the danger and that legal claims may arise based on failure to meet mandatory safety standards, endangering child safety.

We are not aware of any lawsuits filed yet, but we are investigating possible claims involving child poisoning risks, medical monitoring, emotional distress, replacement or recall costs, and other damages tied to this non-compliant packaging defect.

Regulatory & Health Safety Requirements

Under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA), any over-the-counter product containing iron must be sold in child-resistant packaging to prevent accidental ingestion by young children.

Caps on the recalled bottles lack the “push down & turn” or equivalent mechanisms, and are smooth tops, which means a child may open them easily, exposing themselves to a toxic dose of iron.

Iron poisoning can lead to severe vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, metabolic acidosis, organ failure, or even death, making these non-compliant bottles especially dangerous when young children gain access.

Possible Injuries & Side Effects

The health risks posed by iron ingestions are serious, especially for children under 6 years old. Possible consequences include:

• Acute iron toxicity – vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, lethargy, rapid breathing, potential organ damage
• Delayed symptoms – metabolic acidosis, liver damage, shock in severe cases
• Psychological trauma – anxiety, fear or guilt after a child exposure or near-miss event
