Eye drops from specific companies have been found to trigger illness in users, which is why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) didn’t hesitate to release voluntary recalls, according to as.
After FDA investigators found “insanitary conditions,” which is what caused manufacturer Kilitch Healthcare India Limited from Mumbai to issue a voluntary recall for various products. The FDA clearly states that there is a risk of “eye infections or related harm.”
The most recent recalls came just two days ago, on November 15. The FDA is very clear in a recent tweet:
Update alert: The manufacturer, Kilitch Healthcare India Limited, has issued a voluntary recall of various eye drops for potential safety reasons with all lots within expiry with expiration dates ranging from Nov 2023 to Sept 2025.
