Longbow First Aid Products Manufactory: Eyewash Solutions Recalled for Manufacturing Practice Deviations

Agency Publication Date: November 1, 2018

Summary

Approximately 44,400 bottles of Emergency First Aid Eyewash and Ophthalmic Solution have been recalled due to deviations from Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) standards. These manufacturing issues mean the product may not meet sterility requirements or quality standards necessary for eye treatments. The recall includes 0.67-ounce, 4-ounce, and 8-ounce bottles manufactured for Redicare LLC and other distributors, primarily found in New York and California. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist regarding any products they have used.

Risk

Manufacturing deviations in eye-care products can lead to contamination or a lack of sterility. Using a non-sterile solution in the eye can cause serious infections or further irritation to an already injured eye.

What You Should Do

Check your first aid kits and medicine cabinets for Emergency First Aid Eyewash (98.3% Purified Water) or Ophthalmic Solution bottles in sizes of 0.67 fl oz, 4 fl oz, or 8 fl oz.

Also check for NDC 6910-3218-07 or 6910-3218-08 with lot numbers 20171215 or 20171016.
