Expectant mothers have been warned that they could be harming their unborn child by taking multivitamins. Trading Standards watchdogs and charity Birth Defects Foundation Newlife found a third of products do not carry clear labels showing they contain vitamin A.

Mothers-to-be were told to heed the advice from day one of pregnancy.
