Eye drops sold under the brand name EzriCare Artificial Tears have been recalled. Global Pharma, the company that makes EzriCare Artificial Tears, issued the voluntary recall on Feb. 2, 2023, because of possible bacterial contamination.
The FDA suggested the recall based on Global Pharma’s violation of manufacturing regulations. For example, the agency said Global Pharma:
Failed to properly test the eye drops for bacteria
Manufactured the eye drops in multi-use bottles without a sufficient preservative
