AvKARE recalls 0.5% moisturizing lubricant eye drops due to labeling mix-up. No immediate danger but check if you have the specific lot number.
LABELING: LABEL MIX-UP
AvKARE is recalling 0.5% moisturizing lubricant eye drops because of a labeling mix-up. This means the product might be confused with another type of eye drop, but there's no risk of injury or harm.
The labeling mix-up means the eye drops could be mistaken for a different product. This might cause confusion about which eye drops to use, but it does not pose a physical risk to health.
People who own or use the specific eye drops with lot number 0160 (expiring April 26, 2026) are affected. Those most at risk are individuals who use the product daily for eye moisture.
Check for the product name 'Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium Ophthalmic Solution 0.5% Moisturizing Lubricant Eye Drops' on the label. The lot number is 0160, and the expiration date is April 26, 2026.
Look for the lot number 0160 and expiration date April 26, 2026 on the bottle.
No, the recall is due to a labeling mix-up, not a physical hazard. There is no risk of injury or harm.
Check the label for lot number 0160 and expiration date April 26, 2026. If you have the correct product, no action is needed.
