Agency Publication Date: August 16, 2019

Summary

Approximately 13.5 million bottles of various Clear Eyes eye drops, including Redness Relief and Maximum Itchy Eye Relief formulas, are being recalled. The recall was initiated due to deviations from Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements and concerns regarding quality assurance controls at the manufacturing facility. These issues could potentially impact the quality and safety of the finished eye drop products. Consumers should check their medicine cabinets for the specific lot numbers and expiration dates listed below.

Risk

Insufficient quality controls during the manufacturing process can lead to products that do not meet safety or potency standards, potentially causing eye irritation or infection if the product's sterility or chemical balance is compromised.
