Different labs have different B6 ranges. I've seen some in US go up to 90 or so. Others lower.

This remains a gray area in vitamin testing. Serum testing is always less accurate than cellular testing, because cells can rupture and spill contents into the serum causes false highs.
Potassium also can be affected this way.

If you eat any enriched foods, then you can be getting B6 that way as well.

None of the studies I've looked at which reported very high B6 side effects ever noted the actual number on the abstracts. So we don't really know if your level is worrisome or not.
