Many cans of baby formula are being recalled from CVS and H-E-B stores in several states due to high levels of vitamin D that could be harmful to young children, as per a notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Perrigo Company has reported that excessive vitamin D was discovered in a milk-based powdered formula, affecting a total of 16,500 cans distributed to CVS and H-E-B across the country.

The FDA’s notice, published on August 8, stated that no other products or retailers are involved in this recall.
