31 Jul
Summary
- Over 12 million bottles of Rohto eye drops recalled nationwide.
- Products recalled due to a lack of assurance of sterility.
- Consumers should not use recalled drops and may return them.
More than 12 million bottles of Rohto-brand over-the-counter eye drops were recalled nationwide on July 14, 2026. This action was initiated by Rohto-Mentholatum due to a "lack of assurance of sterility," indicating a potential for germ contamination and infection.
The recall encompasses eight different types of Rohto eye drops sold nationwide. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) categorized this as a class II recall, suggesting potential temporary effects but unlikely serious health complications.
Consumers are strongly advised against using the recalled eye drops. It is recommended to contact the place of purchase for return options. Individuals concerned about potential health effects should consult a doctor.
