Four eye ointments have recently been recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to concerns regarding sterility assurance at an Indian manufacturing facility. Brands affected by the eye drops recall are Equate, CVS Health, and AACE Pharmaceuticals. While there have been no reported adverse effects, it’s crucial to stay vigilant about eye care product safety. At Ethen Ostroff Law, we understand the gravity of this situation and are dedicated to supporting and representing those affected. So, we examine the recall’s specifics, its implications for consumer safety, and steps individuals can take if impacted. We also highlight how our firm can provide legal assistance in such cases.

Eye Ointment Recall in 2026

Woman applying eye drops with text overlay "Eye Drops Recall," relevant to the FDA recall of Equate, CVS Health, and AACE Pharmaceuticals eye ointments.

On February 26, 2025, the FDA issued a recall notice concerning the sterility of eye ointments produced by Brassica Pharma Pvt. Ltd. in India. The recall affects products sold under the Equate, CVS Health, and AACE Pharmaceuticals brands, with expiration dates between April 2025 and September 2025. These items were distributed nationwide through retailers like Walmart and CVS.

The recalled eye drops are:

  • CVS Health Lubricant Eye Ointment in a 3.5-gram tube with UPC: 050428634141. 
  • Equate Lubricant Eye Ointment in a 3.5-gram tube with UPC: 681131395298. 
  • Equate Stye Lubricant Eye Ointment in a 3.5-gram tube with UPC: 681131395304. 
  • Lubricant PM Ointment by AACE Pharmaceuticals in a 3.5-gram tube with UPC: 371406124356.

In January 2025, the FDA also addressed counterfeit eye drops, expressing concerns about potential contamination and infection risks.

Update: March–April 2026 — Over 3 Million Bottles Recalled

Eye drop safety concerns are continuing into 2026, and this latest recall is one of the largest yet.

On March 3, 2026, K.C. Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the same Pomona, California-based manufacturer behind previous recalls, voluntarily recalled more than 3 million bottles of eye drops due to a “lack of assurance of sterility,” meaning the company could not guarantee the products are free from harmful bacteria or fungi.

Eight products are affected and sold under various store-brand names, including Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, Rite Aid, Good Sense, Geri-Care, Rugby, and Best Choice, among others. The recalled products are:

  • Dry Eye Relief Eye Drops
  • Artificial Tears Sterile Lubricant Eye Drops
  • Sterile Eye Drops Original Formula
  • Sterile Eye Drops Redness Lubricant
  • Eye Drops Advanced Relief
  • Ultra Lubricating Eye Drops
  • Sterile Eye Drops AC
  • Sterile Eye Drops Soothing Tears

As of early April 2026, no injuries or infections have been reported. However, if your bottle matches one of these product names, check the lot number — and if it’s part of the recall, stop using it immediately and return it to the retailer for a refund. If you experience any eye pain, redness, discharge, or vision changes, contact an eye care professional right away.

If you or a loved one has suffered an eye injury or infection after using recalled eye drops, you may have legal options. At Ethen Ostroff Law, consultations are always free, and you pay nothing unless we win.

Potential Risks and Consumer Guidance

Brassica Pharma has promptly notified distributors and retailers about the recalled eye ointments, stressing the importance of removing them from shelves. Consumers can either discard them safely or return them to the point of purchase. Additionally, individuals experiencing any symptoms potentially linked to the recalled eye ointments should seek medical attention promptly.

The FDA recommends consumers stop using the recalled eye ointments immediately. It’s crucial to be aware of the potential risks associated with contaminated eye products.

Look out for signs like:

  • Blurry vision. 
  • Burning sensation. 
  • Discharge from the eye (yellow, green, or clear). 
  • Eye or eyelid redness. 
  • Eye pain or discomfort. 
  • Eyelid or eye swelling. 
  • Eyes sticking shut upon waking. 
  • Feeling of a foreign body in the eye. 
  • Itching. 
  • Sensitivity to light.

Ensuring Future Vision Safety

Your vision deserves the best protection, so make informed choices when selecting eye drops and lubricants. To safeguard your eye health, take these proactive measures when purchasing eye products:

  • Choose trusted brands: Opt for reputable, well-established brands known for quality and safety standards, minimizing potential issues.
  • Inspect for warning signs: Before purchase, carefully examine eye drops and lubricants for any unusual odor, particles, or signs of tampering. Ensure that the packaging is sealed and check the expiration date.
  • Stay informed about FDA recalls: Regularly consult the FDA’s recall lists to stay updated on any potential risks associated with eye products.

Verifying Eye Drops for Recalls

Ensuring the safety of your eye drops begins with a simple check. Follow these steps to verify the safety of your eye drops and maintain your eye health effectively:

  • Visit the FDA‘s recalled eye drops list: Begin by accessing the FDA’s official list of recalled eye drops. This resource provides up-to-date information on any recalls affecting eye drop products.
  • Check product names and brands: Scan the list for the names and brands of your eye drops. Recent recalls have involved products from companies like Brassica Pharma.
  • Confirm the product’s absence from the recall list: If your eye drops are not listed among the recalled products, they are likely not affected by any known safety concerns. This confirmation provides reassurance regarding the safety of your eye drops.
  • Verify the expiration dates: Even if your eye drops are not subject to a recall, it’s essential to verify their expiration dates regularly. Expired products may lose efficacy or pose potential risks to eye health.
  • Dispose of expired products: Promptly discard any expired eye drops to prevent inadvertent use. Proper disposal ensures that you maintain optimal eye care and minimize potential health risks.

Disposing of Eye Drops Properly

To dispose of eye drops properly, you can follow these steps:

  • Local drug collection or trash: Take expired or unwanted eye drops to a local drug collection box or dispose of them in the trash.
  • Mix with unwanted material: At home, mix the eye drops with unwanted material like coffee grounds or kitty litter to deter children and pets.
  • Seal and discard: Put the mixture in a sealable plastic bag or container to prevent leaks, then discard it in the trash, away from children and pets.

Check the expiration date and remove personal information from the container before disposal to protect your identity.

Process for Reporting Eye Drops Issues

Reporting an issue with eye drops is crucial for product safety. By following these steps, you can help ensure product safety and prevent others from experiencing similar issues with the same eye drops:

  • Document symptoms: Note any adverse effects like redness, irritation, or vision changes. Record the date, time, and relevant details.
  • Contact your healthcare provider: Seek medical attention promptly. Discuss symptoms with your healthcare provider and follow their advice on using eye drops.
  • Report to the FDA: Submit a report to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online or by phone at 1-800-FDA-1088. Provide detailed information about your symptoms and the eye drops you used.
  • Contact manufacturer: Reach out to the eye drop manufacturer to report the issue. Provide detailed information about your experience.
  • Keep records: Keep copies of all communication, receipts, and documentation related to the issue for future reference.
  • Follow-up: Follow up with the FDA and the manufacturer if you don’t receive a response. Persistence may be needed to ensure your report is properly addressed.

Essential Details for Reporting Eye Drop Problems

  • Class action lawsuits: Multiple affected individuals can join forces in a class action lawsuit against the responsible parties.
  • Insurance claims: Depending on the situation, individuals might file insurance claims for medical expenses or pursue liability coverage for legal claims.

  • Regulatory action: Government agencies like the FDA may take enforcement actions, such as fines or sanctions, against companies violating safety standards.

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, USA, without regard to any choice of law principles. Any and all disputes arising hereunder shall be governed as set forth in the Arbitration section below.

Submissions

You are solely responsible for any information, content, or material you transmit to or through the Site (“Submissions”). You understand that Submissions are considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. Furthermore, you grant EO an unrestricted, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, reproduce, display, publish, publicly perform, transmit, and distribute any Submission, without compensation or accounting to you or anyone else. You represent and warrant that: (a) you have the right to submit the Submission to EO and grant the licenses as described above; (b) EO will not need to obtain licenses from any third party or pay royalties to any third party for its use of the Submission; (c) the Submission does not infringe any third party’s rights, including intellectual property rights and privacy rights; and (d) the Submission complies with these Terms of Use and all applicable laws and regulations.

EO takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any Submission.

Arbitration

Any and all claims by you arising out of or related to the Site or your use thereof may be resolved only through a binding arbitration proceeding to be conducted under the auspices of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Both your agreement to arbitrate all controversies, disputes and claims, and the results and awards rendered through the arbitration, will be final and binding on you and may be specifically enforced by legal proceedings. Arbitration will be the sole means of resolving such controversies, disputes and claims, and you waive your rights to resolve such controversies, disputes and claims by court proceedings or any other means. You agree that judgment may be entered on the award in any court of competent jurisdiction and, therefore, any award rendered shall be binding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. You understand that by agreeing to arbitration as a mechanism to resolve all controversies, disputes and claims between us, you are waiving certain rights, including the right to bring an action in court, the right to a jury trial, the right to broad discovery, and the right to an appeal. You understand that in the context of arbitration, a case is decided by an arbitrator (one or more), not by a judge or a jury.

International Use

The Site is controlled, operated, and administered by EO from offices within the United States of America and is only intended for use therein. We make no representation regarding use of the Site outside of the United States.

Other Terms

If, for any reason, our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, or any portion thereof to be unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to give the intended effect thereof, and the remainder of these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy shall continue in full force and effect. EO’s failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to that breach or subsequent or similar breaches. No consent or waiver by EO hereof will be deemed effective unless in writing. These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy, as each is currently posted, constitute the entire agreement between EO and you with respect to your use of the Site and supersede all previous written or oral agreements relating to the subject matter hereof, that this agreement shall not supersede, restrict, or replace any agreements governing the attorney-client relationship between EO and EO Clients.

EO may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, block and/or terminate your access to the Site and if we determine that you have violated these Terms of Use or other terms or agreements or that may be associated therewith or if you use the Site in a way that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be an unacceptable use.
