Clinical Specialties Compounding Pharmacy Recalls Laser Ophthalmic Drops

Clinical Specialties Compounding Pharmacy is recalling specific lots of laser ophthalmic drops due to FDA inspection findings regarding quality control and sterility assurance.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a lack of assurance of sterility in ophthalmic products, which aligns with the rubric criteria for Severe severity.
