Pi yen chin Ophthalmic Redness Reliever Drops are being recalled because they are actually manufactured as nasal drops and sterility cannot be assured. The product is labeled for ophthalmic use but does not meet the safety standards required for eye application.

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 involving a product labeled for eye use but not manufactured to ophthalmic sterility standards, creating a risk of serious ocular infection or injury. Although no illnesses have been reported, the hazard is material rather than theoretical, placing it in the High category.
