I would not be surprised.
I would not be surprised.
Self-medicating when you live in a country whose government is hosting millions of enemy combatants not wearing uniforms is crazy. The only time anything gets put into my eyes is when I’m at the eye doctor’s office. What are people thinking anyway.
When I’m buying eye drops for my glaucoma (latanoprost), I only use what is prescribed by my doctor and obtained through the VA pharmacy.
I would not rely on OTC eye drops except as a temporary back up.
Trust the SCIENCE™! *PING*
Thanks, RedBadger
“The location of this facility is unknown at the present time. The FDA did not even specify if the plant’s location was in America”
Tells you what side they are on.
The FDA, another government agency that is essentially worthless.
In other words, leave them there for the looters to take.

Likely Chinah…
The last dozen times, the drops came from China. Bet it’s the case here, too. Makes getting drops I use to prevent styes a real pain.
I’ve been involved in FDA audits.
All I will say is: they follow very hide-bound and often ridiculous rules and their auditors are hardly experts in the products and facilities they are auditing. They make a lot of mistakes too.
I would discount FDA comments and results to ZERO until I had a chance to independently view the plant and results in question.
Add in a hyperactive, leftist, statist media, and such reports are nearly useless - EXCEPT that the FDA and Fed.gov have the power to destroy anyone and anything in their path.
There’ve been ongoing contamination problems with imported over-the-counter eyedrops. Earlier this year it was products imported from India. My sister contracted a terrible, persistent infection and has lost all sight in one eye after using anti-redness eyedrops. Others have been completely blinded and a few have had to have one or both eyeballs surgically removed.
Why are we assuming that Deep State is telling the truth about the eye drops being responsible...?
I wonder how many people were affected before they had to release this info.
If you have dry eyes, your doctor is likely to recommend an OTC lubricating eye drop, although they’re going to be talking in brand names, not the generics like this list appears to be. Kind of like telling you to take Tylenol where you might go buy a generic acetaminophen.
I do sometimes buy some Equate products from Walmart but have never bought any eyedrops and certainly won’t now. Didn’t try to check the ingredients of that one to see if it would be considered the equivalent of any I’ve heard recommended.
The location and ingredients will be released in 75 years and in the meantime they will be granted lawsuit immunity.
I was only using “natural tears” formula eye drops even before this announcement, but for some reason that type of product has been disappearing from store shelves over the last few years. It seems like they are trying to force you to use one of these chemical concoctions instead.
I have VA prescribed eye drops. Avkare. Made in KY. However, they contain Carboxymethylcellulose ).5%. Same as some of recalled eye drops above. Guess I better contact them...
