"FDA Recalls Eye Ointments Sold at Walmart and CVS Over Infection Risk"
Four eye ointment products sold at Walmart and CVS have been recalled due to concerns over sterility at the Indian manufacturing facility. The affected products include Equate and CVS Health brands, posing a potential risk of eye infections or harm. Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled products, which have expiration dates between February 2024 and September 2025, and can return them to the stores where they were purchased. This recall follows previous incidents of serious eye infections from contaminated eyedrops, prompting the FDA to issue warnings and recalls for various eye products. If you experience problems after using the recalled eye ointments, contact your healthcare provider and report any issues to the FDA's adverse event reporting program.
