AMO TECNIS CL Intraocular Lenses Recalled for Incorrect Diopter Power Labeling

AMO Puerto Rico Manufacturing is recalling 77,055 TECNIS CL intraocular lenses because they may be labeled with the incorrect diopter power.

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, and the hazard is a labeling error (incorrect diopter power) rather than a direct physical defect or contamination, which aligns with the 'Moderate' criteria for labeling errors.
