Maker of Clear Eyes Recalls Nearly 40,000 Bottles Over Contamination Risk

Nearly 40,000 bottles of eye drops are being recalled across the country over concerns related to potential contamination, federal safety regulators said.

Prestige Brand Holdings, of Tarrytown, N.Y., issued the voluntarily recall of 39,060 bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief eye drops because of a “lack of assurance of sterility,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The recall, which began on July 29 and is continuing, involves 15-millimeter bottles with a lot code of 2552A and an expiration date of Sept. 30, 2027.

“Consumer safety is our No. 1 priority,” said Phil Terpolilli, a spokesman for the company, said in an email on Sunday.
