Summary
- Nearly 40,000 bottles of eye drops recalled nationwide.
- Product recalled due to potential contamination and lack of sterility.
- Consumers advised not to use recalled eye drops to prevent infection.
Prestige Brand Holdings is voluntarily recalling approximately 39,060 bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief eye drops. This nationwide recall was initiated due to concerns about a "lack of assurance of sterility," raising the possibility of product contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has categorized this as a Class II recall.
This classification means that exposure to the affected product could lead to temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects. However, the probability of serious adverse health consequences is considered remote. The specific recalled items are 15mL bottles marked with an expiration date of September 30, 2027, lot code 2552A, NDC 67172-999-01, and UPC 6 78112 65920 3.
Consumers who have purchased these recalled eye drops are strongly urged to discontinue use immediately to prevent potential infections or contamination. While not explicitly stated in the report, returning the product to the store where it was purchased is often an option for consumers seeking a resolution. Prestige Brand Holdings, known for other over-the-counter products, has not yet commented on the recall.
