Nordic Naturals Baby’s Vitamin D3 Liquid is being recalled because it contains elevated levels of vitamin D3. Depending on the levels of vitamin D3 in the product, this can cause health problems in infants if it is a super potent dose. This recall notice is posted on the FDA’s Enforcement Reports page, not the regular recall page, so there is no information about whether or not any illnesses have been reported to the company to date. The recalling firm is Nordic Naturals of Watsonville, California.
Because vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, it can accumulate in the body and excess levels are not excreted in urine. Symptoms of elevated vitamin D levels in infants can lead to vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, frequent urination, and inability to thrive.
