Prestige Brand Holdings has initiated a voluntary recall of nearly 40,000 bottles of its Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief eye drops due to concerns regarding the sterility of the product. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has flagged this issue, leading to the removal of these eye drops from store shelves nationwide.

The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, indicating a moderate risk. This means that while exposure to the product might cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects, the likelihood of serious health consequences is considered remote. The company is taking this action to ensure product safety and address the potential for contamination.
