“CooperVision Clariti 1 Day Contact Lenses: Incorrect Expiration Date Label.” GovInfoNow, updated August 28, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/71916-coopervision-clariti-1-day-contact-lenses-incorrect-expiration-date-label. Based on FDA recall #Z-1516-2018 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-1516-2018%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The secondary packaging (foil) shows an expiration date of June 30, 2020, while the outer carton shows June 20, 2030. This mismatch could cause users to think the lenses expire sooner than they actually do, potentially leading to use of expired lenses.
Who’s affected
Contact lens wearers who purchased the Clariti 1 Day (-1.25) 90-pack lenses with the specific expiration dates mentioned in the recall. People who use contact lenses daily are most at risk if they accidentally use expired lenses.
