About 756,000 units were sold at GNC stores nationwide and online at www.gnc.com from September 2000 through August 2018, and online at www.drugstore.com from September 2000 through August 2016 for about $10.

The recalled dietary supplement is in a white box with “Women’s Iron Complete” printed on the front in gray and red font.

No injuries have been reported.
