Cooper Vision is recalling 246 units of AVAIRA Toric Contact Lenses because they exceeded the acceptance limit for silicone oil residual.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a chemical residue exceeding acceptance limits, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures without reported harm.
