SAN ANTONIO – More than 3 million eye drop containers sold nationwide, including some at San Antonio-area H-E-B stores, have been recalled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA designated the action as a “Class II recall” on March 31, which is defined as “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote,” according to their website.
The cause for the nationwide product recall, according to the FDA, is due to “lack of assurance of sterility.”
K.C. Pharmaceuticals, Inc, a California-based company, sold the eye drop solution under numerous names to stores nationwide such as H-E-B, Walgreens, Walmart and CVS.
