"FDA Recalls Eye Ointments Sold at CVS and Walmart Over Infection Risk"

Four eye ointments sold at CVS and Walmart have been voluntarily recalled due to concerns about potential lack of sterility, posing a risk of eye infections or related harm. The products, manufactured by Brassica Pharma in India, are being pulled from shelves after an inspection by the Food and Drug Administration raised concerns about sterility assurance at the facility. This recall follows previous instances of eye product recalls due to unsanitary conditions and ties to drug-resistant bacteria, prompting experts to advise consumers to consult with their eye doctors for safe recommendations.
