"FDA Recalls Eye Ointments from Walmart and CVS Over Infection Risk"
Eye ointment products sold at Walmart and CVS are being recalled due to a potential risk of infection, as federal health officials discovered a “lack of sterility assurance” at the manufacturing facility. The impacted products, sold under the brand names Equate, CVS Health, and AACE Pharmaceuticals, have expiration dates ranging from February 2024 to September 2025. Customers are advised to stop using the affected products and return them for a full refund, as ophthalmic drug products pose a potential heightened risk of harm to users. This recall follows several others in the past year due to unsanitary conditions at manufacturing facilities, prompting warnings from the FDA to avoid certain eye products.
