KRS Global Biotechnology Recalls Ophthalmic Solution Due to Sterility Concerns

KRS Global Biotechnology is recalling Cyclopentolate HCl, Phenylephrine HCl, and Tropicamide ophthalmic solution because the company cannot guarantee the product is sterile.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this recall as Class II. According to the severity rubric, an FDA Class II recall involving a sterile ophthalmic product (where sterility failure implies significant risk of infection/injury) maps to a score of 4 (Severe), as it exceeds the threshold for 'High' (which typically applies to theoretical risks or specific pathogens without reported illness) and aligns with the 'significant injury' potential of non-sterile eye drops.
