AvKARE is recalling approximately 16,677 cartons of two types of moisturizing eye drops: Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium Ophthalmic Solution 0.5% and Polyvinyl Alcohol Ophthalmic Solution 1.4%. The recall was issued because the labels for these two different eye drop products were mixed up. Consumers should look for 15 mL bottles labeled with lot number 0160 and an expiration date of April 26, 2026.
Because of the label mix-up, consumers may unknowingly use the wrong eye drop solution. This could lead to ineffective treatment of dry eye symptoms or minor eye irritation. No injuries or adverse reactions have been reported to date.
