Prestige Brand Holdings has voluntarily recalled a batch of its Clear Eyes eye drops after FDA alert

Nearly 40,000 bottles of eye drops are being pulled from store shelves across the US over concerns about potential contamination, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Prestige Brand Holdings, based in Tarrytown, New York, has voluntarily recalled 39,060 bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief eye drops because of a “lack of assurance of sterility”, an FDA enforcement report states. The FDA classified the action as a Class II recall, defined on the agency’s website as a moderate-risk situation “in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote”.

The recall specifically covers 15ml bottles carrying lot code 2552A and an expiration date of 30 September 2027. The eye drops were distributed by Medtech Products Inc, a Prestige Consumer Healthcare company.

      It’s a voluntary recall. They took it upon themselves to publicly recall a product. Why would they bribe anyone?

        international sales. export controls are still dependent on FDA reports. they voluntarily report so that independent sources don’t report it first. this means damage control.

        then without doing anything, they say it’s fixed and pay the FDA through trump to make it appear that way. this prevents legitimate concerns and ensures Thier products reach foriegn markets…

        toy industries have done it for decades in the US
