Thanks for the update!
I am calling CVS as we speak, and will be speaking to my OB at my appt today. DH is freaking out, I am on the other hand is rather calm about this.. weird Chat Icon

ETA: Just spoke to CVS, they are USELESS!!! They do not have any information about the recall and I asked if I should stop taking them, they said if I feel uncomfortable. Excuse me? This is my and my unborn child's health we are talking about? IDIOTS Chat Icon

Re: UPDATE!!! PRENATAL VITAMIN RECALL

Great my prenatal and iron pills are both on this list!! I'm not taking them till I see my OB on wed to find out more and ask her to give me something different. I don't wanna chance taking something with a recall on it even if its not that big of a deal. CVS told me to keep taking them but I don't know why are some pills ok and some aren't??

Re: UPDATE!!! PRENATAL VITAMIN RECALL

I called the customer service # on the FDA website. The lady said it is a wholesale recall which means that the pills itself are fine. A wholesale recall has something to do with the processing of the order...it could be something as little as the way paperwork if filed.

If it was a danger, it would be all over the news & the pharmacys would be notified.
