McKesson Medical-Surgical Inc. has recalled 27 bottles of Bausch & Lomb Proparacaine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution, USP 0.5% (sterile). The eye drops were exposed to improper temperatures above the required drug label specifications during distribution to two medical facilities in Maryland and Virginia. Using medication that has been stored at incorrect temperatures can compromise the safety and effectiveness of the drug.
