The Vitamin Shoppe Halts Sales of Women's Multivitamin
Posted on: Thursday, 25 January 2007, 06:00 CST
The Vitamin Shoppe, a large US retailer of vitamins and nutritional supplements, has voluntarily removed its "Especially for Women" multivitamin product from store shelves and its internet sales site.
The Vitamin Shoppe said that the removal of the products followed allegations that the multivitamin contained trace quantities of lead in excess of California labeling requirements.
Tom Tolworthy, The Vitamin Shoppe CEO, said: "We have asked our contract manufacturer and an independent scientific lab to conduct separate tests. Our efforts to more fully investigate these allegations have been hampered by the unwillingness of the company making the allegations to share its complete results and testing methodology with us. Using a scientifically valid testing methodology is absolutely necessary to achieve reliable results."
"The health, safety and peace of mind of our customers are The Vitamin Shoppe's top priorities. All Vitamin Shoppe products are manufactured in compliance with industry standards," Mr Tolworthy added.
