K.C. Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has voluntarily recalled over 3.1 million bottles of various brands of sterile lubricant and redness relief eye drops due to a lack of assurance of sterility. The recall affects several major retailers including Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, Rite Aid, Walmart, and Target, under brands such as Walgreens, CVS Health, Kroger, GoodSense, and Leader. No injuries or adverse incidents have been reported to date, but the company is recalling these products as a precaution to prevent potential eye infections.
A lack of sterility assurance in eye drops means the product may be contaminated with microorganisms, which can lead to serious eye infections or other complications when applied directly to the eye.
