Timeline

Reason for recall

A firm's internal investigation led to the discovery of pinholes in the packaging of the products. The pinholes are not likely to be detected by the end user prior to use and could compromise the sterile barrier properties of the packaging.

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
