Health Canada is recalling multiple brands of multivitamins and supplements due to concerns the products may contain harmful metal fibres.
Canadians are being advised to stop using various multivitamins and supplements from several brands after Health Canada said the products may contain metal fibres that could injure people’s digestive system.
It may be a recall after they found the issue. It could be that simply a machine part broke down or had a quality issue that caused this, with no I'll intent. Sometimes an accident is simply an accident.
If thats the case, will they review their maintaince scheduling to see if this could be prevented in the future, or will they just shrug it off and wait until the next little accident and pray it doesn't cause anyone any harm?
Even if it is 100% accidental the company should be responsible to investigate the exact cause and come up with a plan to prevent a similar situation in the future.
Could be copper. Or aluminum. Or titanium, for that matter. Lots of possibilities in "metal" that would allow the label to still be technically truthful.
At least lead is better than mercury or americinium since both of those metals have no business in vitamins but might be used in vicinity in older fire alarms and thermometers.
If we are going worst case and a box of old alarms or thermometers got stored improperly and got crushed into the mix
