Health Canada announces a recall affecting Flintstones Complete Multivitamins and Minerals tablets and 10 mg Claritin Allergy Tablets. The recall is linked to a distribution error in which customer-returned bottles are inadvertently reintroduced into “saleable” inventory and then distributed onward to wholesalers.

Multiple outlets report the affected products are identified by specific lot information. Global News also includes Claritin tablets in the recall notice, while City News Toronto focuses on the multivitamin portion and details how the mix-up occurs within distribution channels. The notices advise consumers to stop using the recalled items and consult a healthcare provider before discontinuing use. The affected bottles are associated with lot number NAAEXKW, according to the report from City News Toronto.

Health Canada’s recall communications emphasize consumer safety and traceability, directing attention to the error rather than any claim about product quality or contamination. The response focuses on removing the items from distribution and preventing further sale of the affected stock.
