FDA Issues Consumer Alert on Recalled Eye Drops Sold at Major Retailers

The FDA has expanded its warning against buying or using certain eyedrops sold by major retailers, including Walmart, CVS, Target, and Rite Aid, due to insanitary conditions and contamination found in the manufacturing facility. The FDA has not received reports of infection or vision loss but warns of the possibility. Walmart, CVS, Target, and Rite Aid are removing the products from their shelves and websites. The manufacturer, Velocity Pharma, has not responded to inquiries about the location of the facility or whether it will comply with the FDA's recommendation for a recall. Earlier this year, cases of infection and blindness were linked to eyedrops made in India and sold under different brands.
