The more than two dozen tainted eye drops that the FDA warned could cause infection and vision loss have been traced back to an unsanitary factory, according to a report

The tainted eye drops that the Food and Drug Administration recently warned people to stop using ASAP have reportedly been traced back to a factory in India.

The more than two dozen affected eye-drop brands sold by retailers like Walmart, CVS, Target and Rite Aid were made by Kilitch Healthcare India Ltd. in Navi Mumbai, India, according to a federal inspection report seen by Bloomberg News.

The report cites unsanitary conditions in the factory, such as workers being barefoot in the facility and falsifying test results so that the products made there appeared to be safe, according to the news site. The FDA has banned the Kilitch factory from shipping any more of its eye drops to the U.S. The FDA also asked the factory to recall its eye drops, but it has not done so yet.

FDA is also shutting down homeopathic eye drops manufacturers resulting in no eye drops available anywhere. Good job!

“faked safety checks”

Those guys have great careers waiting for them at Pfizer, Moderna, FDA, and CDC.

The hospital I worked at for 7 yrs as a home-based medical transcriptionist shut down our dept in 2010 and sent our jobs to India. So third world “transcriptionists” are now handling the private medical records of tens of millions of Americans, likely in their own homes and without the strict HIPAA rules American MTs had to abide by. It’s been happening at major hospitals all over the country since EMR and ObamaCare took effect and most ppl are unaware of it.
