Clear Eyes eye drops recalled nationwide over contamination risk, FDA says

Prestige Consumer Healthcare is recalling nearly 40,000 bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief nationwide due to sterility concerns, the FDA said. The company launched the recall on July 29 citing “lack of assurance of sterility,” warning of potential contamination. The affected product consists of 15 mL bottles of the itch-relief eye drops marketed to reduce itchiness, redness and other eye irritations. The FDA classified the recall as Class II, meaning it could cause “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.” The agency’s notice did not include reported injuries. Prestige Consumer Healthcare did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
