Hurt, no treatment Made Sep 7, 2025, sent to the company Sep 10, 2025, published by CPSC Sep 24, 2025
The product, in the report: The product is Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Kids Elderberry Immune Gummies. It comes in a small plastic bottle (approximately 45 inches tall) with a white child-resistant cap labeled push down & turn to open. The label is primarily purple with Garden of Life branding, and it states that the product is formulated for childrens immune support. The gummies inside are dark purple/black in color and chewable, with a berry flavor. The bottle I purchased contained 60 gummies (dietary supplement). This product is intended as a daily immune support supplement for children ages 4 and up.
I purchased a bottle of Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Kids Elderberry Immune Gummies for my children. On the evening of September 6, 2025, my five- and four-year-old daughters were able to access the bottle and consume twenty-five gummies. The cap was labeled as push down & turn to open, but it was defective it opened with only a simple twist, without requiring downward pressure.
The product was being stored in my home and intended for supervised use by my children as a daily supplement. At the time of the incident, the bottle was in a secure location, but because the cap was not truly child-resistant, my children were able to open it.
I immediately contacted Poison Control for guidance, as I did not know what effects the gummies could have on my children. Fortunately, no serious injuries occurred in this case, but there was a clear risk of overdose or harm. If this had been another Garden of Life product, such as their childrens multivitamins containing higher-risk ingredients, the consequences could have been life-threatening.
This defective cap design presents a significant danger to children and fails to meet the safety expectations of child-resistant packaging.
