What was recalled?

This recall covers FRESHKOTE LUBRICANT EYEDROPS, Sterile, 0.33 FL OZ (10mL), with approximately 50,900 units affected. The company behind the recall is Harrow Eye LLC, based in Nashville, TN.

Why was FRESHKOTE LUBRICANT EYEDROPS, Sterile, 0.33 FL OZ (10mL) recalled?

According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Lack of Assurance of Sterility.” In plain terms, this recall relates to a sterility or contamination concern.

Sterile medicines, such as injectables and eye drops, must be completely free of microorganisms and stray particles. This recall means that sterility could not be assured or that contamination was found or suspected. Using a non-sterile product of this kind can cause infections, which is why these recalls are treated seriously.
