FDA recall appears in this brand's history

An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Evidence and sources

This recall is not about the product on this page. Pharmavite recalled a different product on June 6, 2016. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Nature Made(R) D3 1000IU, 125 count, UPC 0-31604-02793-3”. …

Public contextWho is behind it?

Registered owner records: PHARMAVITE LLC · PHARMAVITE CORPORATION

The public ownership record is ambiguous. We show the exact candidates instead of choosing one by name similarity.

Evidence and sources

USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: PHARMAVITE LLC, PHARMAVITE CORPORATION. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 1 ingredients listed.

Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.

Evidence and sources

The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 031604014896.

The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.

Evidence and sources

The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Vitamin C Extra Strength 1000 mg Tablets” (variant: 100) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.

CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

Reviews rose from 831 to 1,169 between August 18, 2025 and August 18, 2026 — no sudden jump.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 831 to 1,169 between August 18, 2025 and August 18, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 34, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

Same UPC/GTIN observed across 2 sellers. Amazon was lowest at $8.53; Brand website was highest at $16.19 — a $7.66 range at check time.
