Alden Optical Recalls Zenlens Toric Contact Lenses Due to Labeling Errors
Alden Optical is recalling 36 vials of Zenlens Toric-Gas Permeable Contact Lenses because the vials contained incorrect lenses for the prescriptions labeled on them.
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 III, which the rubric indicates is typically a score of 1 or 2. The hazard involves a labeling error resulting in incorrect lenses, which is a moderate risk but not a Class I or II hazard with reported serious injuries.
Plain-English summary
Alden Optical is recalling 36 vials of Zenlens Toric-Gas Permeable Contact Lenses for Daily Wear. The recall was initiated because the vials were labeled for specific prescriptions but contained incorrect lenses. The affected products include various Zenlens Toric models, such as Front Toric, Toric Peripheral Curve, and combinations with Microvault.
The recalled lenses were distributed in the United States in the states of California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.

Consumers who have these specific vials should stop using the lenses immediately and contact their eye care professional or Alden Optical for instructions on how to return the product or obtain a replacement.
