Alcon Laboratories has voluntarily recalled a single lot of Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF due to concerns of fungal contamination. The recall was announced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after receiving a consumer complaint about foreign material in a sealed single-use vial of the eye drop solution.
The affected product is the Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF, Single Vials On-the-Go, 25 count, with lot number 10101. This product was distributed nationwide to multiple retail stores and online retailers, including Publix.
If used, these recalled eye drops could cause an eye infection that may threaten a person’s vision or be life-threatening for those who are immunocompromised. However, there have been no reported adverse reactions from users of the contaminated vials.
To protect yourself, stop using the recalled eye drops and return them to the retailer where they were purchased for a replacement or refund. If you experience any quality issues or adverse reactions after using these eye drops, report it to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting system.
