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: This is an FDA Class I recall, which requires a minimum severity score of 4. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the non-sterility of eye drops—a product applied directly to sensitive ocular tissue—represents a significant contamination risk that justifies the Class I regulatory classification.
