Vitafusion PreNatal Multivitamin Gummy
In October 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Church & Dwight Co. for allegedly falsely labeling Vitafusion PreNatal Multivitamin Gummies as containing 800 mcg of folic acid per serving (or 100% of the recommended daily intake of the vitamin) when, according to the complaint, the gummies contain more than that amount and more than the limit established by the Institute of Medicine, making the gummies “potentially dangerous to both women and their unborn children.” (Ochoa et al v. Church & Dwight Co., Inc., Case No. 17-cv-2019, C. D. CA.)
