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 as a Class II recall, and lack of sterility assurance in an ophthalmic product—which is administered directly to the eye—poses a risk of serious infection. Class II recalls with potential for serious health consequences warrant a Severe rating.
