Recall of Certain Infant Formula Sold Under CVS Health Brand Name

 

The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) is advising consumers that Perrigo Company is recalling certain cans of store brand Premium Infant Formula with Iron Milk-Based Powder due to levels of Vitamin D above the maximum level permitted. These products were available in CVS locations in Rhode Island. They were sold under the brand name CVS Health. (See product label attached.)

 

The recalled products were also shipped to other states, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

 

For most infants, short-term consumption of the affected lot codes is unlikely to cause adverse health implications. In a small subset of infants with existing health conditions (for example, impaired renal function), there is the potential that consumption of the recalled product could result in health complications. Parents and caregivers who may have purchased the product should look for the lot codes below with “use by” dates, which can be found on the bottom of the package and should contact their healthcare professional if they have any concerns.

 

Product shipped to CVS beginning February 6, 2024, being recalled:

In a Truth Social post this morning, Trump said he's canceled meetings with Iranian officials as protests continue. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency has reported at least two-thousand people have died in the protests.        Cancer patients are getting encouraging news. According to the American Cancer Society's annual report on cancer facts and trends, seven in ten people now survive their cancer five-years or more, up from only half in the mid-70s. The lead author of the report, Rebecca Siegel, states this stunning victory is largely the result of decades of cancer research, that provided clinicians with the tools to treat the disease more effectively, turning many cancers from a death sentence into a chronic disease.        The Atlantic Amateur Hockey Association says it's investigating a viral youth team fight that's being described as a staged. It happened when the Central Penn Panthers Youth Ice Hockey Club played an intra-squad scrimmage during intermission of a minor league game on Saturday in Hershey.
