Stop Using Clear Eyes: Key Lots Recalled for Sterility Issues
22 Sep
Summary
- CVS recalled certain Clear Eyes Redness Relief lots over sterility concerns.
- Specific lot codes and expiration dates are provided for identification.
- Customers should stop use and seek refunds from CVS stores immediately.
CVS announced a recall on September 17, 2026, affecting certain lots of Clear Eyes Redness Relief lubricant eye drops. The recall is due to a "lack of sterility assurance," meaning the manufacturer cannot guarantee the product's sterility, a critical concern for eye care products.
The recalled eye drops are Clear Eyes Redness Relief Lubricant Eye Drops (0.5 fl. oz.) with SKU 318160 and UPC 678112254156. Specific lot codes and expiration dates ranging from July 2027 to November 2027 are affected, with a product packaging photo also available.
Customers who purchased the recalled eye drops are strongly advised to discontinue use immediately. Refunds can be obtained by presenting a receipt and the product at the CVS store where it was purchased. For further inquiries, consumers can contact returns@prestigebrands.com or call (914) 527-6897 during business hours.
This is not the first recall for the Clear Eyes brand, owned by Prestige Consumer Healthcare. In July 2026, thousands of bottles of its Maximum Itchy Eye Relief drops were also recalled due to sterility issues. The connection between these two recalls is not immediately clear.
