Clear Eyes eye drops recalled over sterility concerns

Nearly 40,000 bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief eye drops have been recalled nationwide due to potential contamination, federal regulators announced. The voluntary recall was initiated by Prestige Consumer Healthcare on July 29, 2026, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified it as a Class II recall on August 14, 2026, indicating that use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.

The affected product consists of 15 mL bottles with lot code 2552A and an expiration date of September 30, 2027.
