K.C. Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has voluntarily recalled over 3 million eye drop bottles due to concerns regarding their sterility. The recall, which began on March 3 and was classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 31, falls under the FDA’s Class II designation. This classification indicates that while the products are not confirmed to be contaminated, the manufacturer cannot guarantee they consistently meet sterility standards necessary to prevent infection-causing microbes. The affected eye drops were distributed nationwide through major retailers, including Walgreens, Kroger, and H-E-B. The recall includes eight products, such as Sterile Eye Drops AC and Dry Eye Relief Eye Drops. Consumers can identify the recalled products by their Universal Product Code or National Drug Code numbers located near the barcode on the bottles.
