NuCel Labs recalling eye drops, eye/ear wash products due to contamination
All Eye Drops and Eye/Ear Wash products manufactured by NuCel Labs are being voluntarily recalled by the company because of a detected compromise in their sterility, according to a press release from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The recall follows an FDA inspection that found bacteria and particulate matter in the products, posing an increased risk for causing eye infections, the release said.
The eye drops are packaged in 0.25 oz bottles labeled "Eye Drops Caution: Do Not Use With Implants."
The eye/ear wash is also packaged in 0.25 oz bottles, labeled "Eye/Ear Wash."
About 500 units of the products, which do not display lot numbers or expiration dates, have been distributed nationwide.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, the release said.
