Bausch + Lomb announced that it is voluntarily recalling all lots of PeroxiClear 3% hydrogen peroxide cleaning and disinfecting solution in the U.S. and Canada.
The company stated in a press release that the proposed Class II recall “represents low risk to the consumer and is unlikely to cause serious health consequences” and that it decided on this action out of “an abundance of caution.”
The recall is a result of internal testing that simulated normal product use, according to the press release.
“Testing showed occasional occurrences where the residual peroxide remaining in the lens case after neutralization was out of product specification,” Bausch +Lomb said.
While the solution is unlikely to cause serious health consequences, users could experience temporary symptoms of burning, stinging, irritation and red eyes if the residual hydrogen peroxide is above product specification, the release said.
