Australia orders recall of Nature's Made vitamins
consumer level recall of 99 bottles of Nature Made brand vitamin
supplements, being illegally sold in the country.
Australia's medicines regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), has ordered a consumer level recall of 99 bottles of Nature Made brand vitamin supplements, after it found the products had not been registered for sale in the country.
The vitamins are produced by US company Pharmavite but the products have not been registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods and the manufacturer does not hold an Australian Good Manufacturing Practice licence from the TGA.
The TGA said the products had been brought into Australia for market research purposes by NW Consulting and then illegally marketed to Australian consumers in eight pharmacies in Victoria and New South Wales.
The agency first heard about the illegal products in October. The recalled products include Vitamin C with Rose Hips, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin E soft gel capsules.
