There’s three recalls of over the counter eye products and prescription medications for the eyes. See the chart here at the FDA for all information. Some products include the eye allergy drops, ointments, and prescription medications used for conjunctivitis. See the first three listings on this chart; products from PERRIGO, WALGREENS, EQUATE AND SUPPORT HARMONY. Some products are sold at Walgreens and Walmart.

Thanks so much for the alert.  Just purchased Equate eye drops at Walmart a few days ago.  Fortunately, mine wasn't a recall.

Thank you for posting this!  I do have an item on the recall list--Equate Comfort Gel eyedrops.  I have used the product occasionally and haven't had any issues.

Will try to remember to return it to WalMart next time I'm there.  Thanks again.

• Spunds like Altaire Pharmaceuticals has a sanitation problem.
