Eye drops sold at Walmart, Target, CVS and Rite Aid recalled

(WKBN) – Eye drops sold at national retailers including Walmart, Target, CVS and Rite Aid are being recalled after federal investigators found “insanitary conditions,” the U.S. Food & Drug Administration announced.

The FDA said using the affected eye drops, which were intended to be sterile, can possibly lead to eye infections or “related harm.” 

“Ophthalmic drug products pose a potential heightened risk of harm to users because drugs applied to the eyes bypass some of the body’s natural defenses,” the FDA states.
