AbbVie Inc. is recalling 3,236,989 tubes of Refresh P.M. and Refresh LACRI-LUBE Lubricant Eye Ointments due to a potential breach in the tube seal. This defect means the sterility of the ointment cannot be guaranteed, as bacteria or other contaminants could enter the product. The recall affects 0.12 oz (3.5g) tubes distributed nationwide and to several foreign countries.
A breach in the tube seal compromises the product's sterility, which may lead to eye infections, irritation, or other ocular health complications if the contaminated ointment is used.
