Nearly 40,000 bottles of Clear Eyes Maximum Itchy Eye Relief eye drops have been voluntarily recalled across the United States because their sterility cannot be assured. The Food and Drug Administration has classified it as a Class II recall, meaning the potential health effects are expected to be temporary or medically reversible, with serious harm considered unlikely.

The recall affects 39,060 15ml bottles with lot code 2552A and an expiry date of 30 September 2027, distributed by Medtech Products, part of Prestige Consumer Healthcare. The drops were sold by retailers including Walmart, Target and Kroger; consumers should stop using them and return them for a refund, seeking advice from a pharmacist or healthcare provider if concerned.
