Nearly 40,000 bottles of one of the most widely sold over-the-counter eye drops in the country have been recalled because the manufacturer cannot confirm the product is sterile.
Prestige Brands Holdings is recalling 39,060 bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief, distributed nationwide by Medtech Products Inc. The FDA enforcement report gives the reason as a "lack of assurance of sterility" and describes the action as prompted by potential contamination. The agency classified it as Class II.
