Over Half a Million Eye Drops Recalled Nationwide Due to Sterility Concerns

Federal safety regulators have issued a Class II recall for over 500,000 eye care products, including lubricating solutions and ointments sold under various brand names, due to potential sterility issues. The affected products, manufactured by Sterling Pharmaceutical Services LLC, were distributed nationwide through major pharmacy chains like Walgreens. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that using non-sterile ophthalmic solutions carries a risk of introducing pathogens into ocular tissues.
