Over 3 Million Bottles of Store Brand Eye Drops Recalled Nationwide

When your eyes need moisture, cooling, or brightening—eye drops are eye drops, right? That may often be the case when you want to save a few dollars by going with a retailer’s or distributor’s label instead of a name brand, but today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has shared word of a recall affecting eyedrops marketed with 26 major labels from pharmacy chains, supermarkets, and other generic names.

On March 31, the FDA published a report revealing that 3,111,072 bottles of eyedrops were recalled on March 3 for “Lack of Assurance of Sterility.” This doesn’t necessarily mean that the products are unsterile, but the maker has voluntarily acknowledged they cannot guarantee that sterility was maintained to the set standards to prevent infection-causing microbes throughout production.

Recalled Eyedrops from Various Brands

Eyedrops from the following brands are being recalled “nationwide in the U.S.,” reports the FDA, by Pomona, CA-based K.C. Pharmaceuticals:

Pharmacy/Drug Chains

  • Walgreens
  • CVS Health
  • Rite Aid
  • Good Neighbor Pharmacy (AmerisourceBergen)
  • Discount Drug Mart

Grocery Chains

  • Kroger
  • H-E-B
  • Harris Teeter
  • Publix
  • Meijer

Other Retail

  • Dollar General (DG Health)
  • Circle K
  • Cintas (industrial/workplace distributor)
  • Rugby Laboratories
  • CDMA/QC-Quality Choice
  • NovaBay Pharmaceuticals (Avenova)
  • Military Exchanges (Exchange Select)
  • Grandall Distributing (Colirio brands)
  • Lil’ Drug Store Products
  • 4 Trees LLC (Code Red)

The FDA report doesn’t offer steps for refund or remedy, but it is likely advisable not to use these products. Some places of purchase may honor refunds or exchanges. With questions, contact an eye doctor or speak to a pharmacist.
