Altaire Pharmaceutifcals, Inc. announced that it is voluntarily recalling more over-the-counter eyedrops and ointments sold at CVS stores across the nation. The recall is due to concerns over the sterility of the products. Using non-sterile products contain a risk of infections.
All of the products recalled are manufactured and labeled for CVS health. Altaire has not yet received any reports of adverse reactions to the products being recalled.
Consumers are urged to contact their healthcare providers if they experience any adverse reactions to using the products listed on the recall.
The recall is at the retail level, which means that the recall only applies to the pharmacies and stores that stock the product. The recall does not include consumers.
