Similac¿ Advance Complete Nutrition Infant Formula with Iron recall

Recalled by Abbott Laboratories · Columbus, OH, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

The firm received three consumer calls of product with Chinese labeling. After an internal investigation, the firm discovered that product manufactured for export to China was distributed to three states in the US. All labeling is in Chinese.

A label that does not match the product can hide an ingredient someone must avoid, or show a wrong use-by date. All labeling errors recalls.

FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
