The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recalled another type of eyedrop due to risk of blindness and even lethal infection.
Now, the body has added further potentially harmful products to its list of drops that will be removed from stores – taking the total to 27.
It comes weeks after the FDA warned consumers not to buy 26 eyedrops that were all store-brand products.
Consumers were urged to avoid several drops from CVS, Rite Aid, Target and Walmart, among others.
At the time, the regulators announced that the safety concerns were related to an inspection at an unnamed factory where the products are made, which found unsanitary conditions and bacteria.
