Global Pharma Healthcare is recalling lubricant eye drops that were found to have bacterial contamination in unopened bottles. This poses a risk of infection if the product is used.
The FDA found bacterial contamination in unopened bottles of the eye drops. Using contaminated eye drops can lead to eye infections, especially for individuals with weakened immune systems or existing eye conditions.
People who own or use the recalled lubricant eye drops are affected. Those with compromised immune systems or existing eye conditions may be at higher risk.
Look for the product name 'Artificial Tears (Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium) Lubricant Eye Drops' in 15 ml bottles. The lot numbers PCMI005 through PCMJ015 and expiration dates AUG-2024 or MAR-2025 indicate the affected products.
Verify the lot numbers (PCMI005 to PCMJ015) and expiration dates (AUG-2024 or MAR-2025) on the bottle.
No, the FDA found bacterial contamination in unopened bottles, so they should not be used.
Check the lot numbers and expiration dates on the bottle. If it matches the recalled products, stop using it and contact Global Pharma Healthcare.
The recall does not specify a fix; the remedy is null, so the product should not be used.
