Clear Eyes recall over sterility concerns
Nearly 40,000 bottles were recalled over possible contamination, and the FDA said exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects.
- Prestige Brand Holdings is voluntarily recalling 39,060 bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief due to a 'lack of assurance of sterility,' according to a Food and Drug Administration enforcement report.
- Classified by the FDA as a Class II recall on Aug. 14, the action addresses potential contamination identified during manufacturing that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
- Recalled 15 ml bottles carry lot code 2552A with an expiration date of Sept. 30, 2027, and were distributed at Walmart, Kroger, and other retailers by Medtech Products Inc.
- Consumers should stop using the product immediately and return it for a refund, Phil Terpolilli, a spokesperson for the company, confirmed in an email yesterday that no serious adverse events have been reported.
- The recall began July 29 and is continuing; eye drop recalls remain infrequent compared to food-related incidents, though two brands were pulled in 2023 due to drug-resistant bacteria concerns.
