Health Canada says the risk of harm due to the presence of iron is higher for those individuals who may have a peptic ulcer, regional eneteritis, ulcerative colitis, iron allergy, or those taking high doses of iron supplements, levodopa and/or levothyroxine.

If you have one of the affected products, people should stop using them and consult a health-care professional if you have used any of the items and have concerns. Canadians can return any of the purchased affected products to the local pharmacy for proper disposal.
