Millions of Eye Drops Recalled Over Sterility Concerns
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Millions of bottles of over-the-counter eye drops used to treat redness, dryness, and eye fatigue have been recalled due to concerns about their sterility, according to a report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The voluntary recall initiated by Rohto-Mentholatum, based in Vietnam, affects 11,960,623 boxes of Rohto Cooling Eye Drops distributed nationwide. The FDA stated that the affected products were recalled due to a 'lack of sterility assurance,' a manufacturing issue that could pose a risk, as it cannot be guaranteed that the product is free from potentially harmful microbes. The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall, meaning that the use of the products may cause 'temporary' or 'reversible' health effects, but it is unlikely to result in serious consequences.
