What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for a sterile ophthalmic solution with loss of sterility assurance, which represents a significant risk of eye infection. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, but the hazard (infection from non-sterile eye drops) poses clear risk of harm to patients using the product for direct ocular application.
