A baby formula sold in Rhode Island CVS stores has been recalled, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
A CVS-branded infant formula produced by Perrigo Company was recalled for high levels of vitamin D, the FDA said.
The agency said there haven’t been any reported adverse effects to the formula so far, but the company decided to recall the product after testing revealed the high vitamin D levels.
The recall alert said the high vitamin D levels could cause health complications in “physiologically vulnerable” infants, such as those with impaired renal function.
