FDA Issues Consumer Alert: Eye Drops from Major Brands Recalled Due to Risk of Infection and Vision Loss
The FDA is warning consumers to avoid 26 eye drop products sold at major retailers including CVS, Rite Aid, and Target, as they could cause eye infections and potentially lead to vision loss. The products were marketed under various brands and were found to have "insanitary conditions" in the manufacturer's facility. CVS, Rite Aid, and Target are removing the products from their shelves, but some may still be available for purchase. The FDA has not specified the type of bacteria found during testing and there have been no reports of eye infections related to these products. Consumers experiencing symptoms of an eye infection after using these products are advised to seek medical care immediately.
