Bausch + Lomb is recalling approximately 32,000 units of Project Watson Eyelid Wipes (45 count) for dogs. Once the container is opened and in use, bacteria and fungi found in the environment can grow inside, posing a risk of serious infection to humans who handle them. The company has received seven reports of a substance developing in the container after use, though no illnesses in consumers or pets have been reported. The wipes were sold at PetSmart, Walmart, Chewy.com, and Amazon.com from February 2023 through March 2024 for between $13 and $15.
Bacteria and fungi can grow in the product container after opening, posing a risk of serious infection to people with weakened immune systems or those with open wounds. While individuals with healthy immune systems are not typically affected, anyone experiencing health concerns after handling the product should contact a healthcare provider.
