FDA Recalls 40,000 Clear Eyes Bottles Over Contamination Risk

The FDA announced a nationwide recall of nearly 40,000 bottles of Clear Eyes eye drops. The recall covers specific lots distributed across the United States. The agency cited potential contamination as the reason.

The recall applies to the Clear Eyes brand, a common over-the-counter eye lubricant. The FDA did not specify the exact contaminant in its initial notice. Consumers who have purchased the product should check the lot numbers listed on the FDA's recall page.

The agency advised anyone with the affected bottles to stop using them immediately. They can return the product to the point of purchase for a refund. The FDA said it is monitoring the situation and will update the public if more information becomes available.

No injuries or adverse events have been reported so far. The recall is a precautionary measure, the FDA said.
