Summary
39,060 units of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief were pulled from the U.S. market after the FDA flagged a lack of sterility assurance and potential contamination.
The recall covers 0.5-ounce bottles from lot 2552A, expiring Sept. 30, 2027, distributed by Medtech Products and recalled nationwide by Prestige Brand Holdings on July 29.
Class II status, assigned by the FDA on Aug. 14, means exposure could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, while the chance of serious harm is considered remote.
Consumers were told not to use the affected drops; the FDA notice did not detail the contamination source, and buyers can return the product or consult a doctor or pharmacist.
