United Exchange Corp’s Eye Wash Recalled Due to Microbial Contamination

By FDA MedWatch | September 8, 2016

Family Care Eye Wash by United Exchange Corp: Recall – Microbial Contamination

ISSUE: 

United Exchange Corp. is voluntarily recalling specific lots of Family Care Eye Wash 4 oz due to microbial contamination. These products consist of a purified water solution. Use of a contaminated product could be calamitous for any population since there is a reasonable probability of a potentially sight threatening eye infection.

See the press release for a list of affected Lot numbers.

BACKGROUND:

Eye Wash/Eye Irrigation Solution is used to flush the eye to relieve irritation, stinging, or itching by removing foreign material such as air pollutants or chlorinated water. It is packaged in 4 oz (118mL) bottles. Family Care Eye Wash was distributed nationwide to wholesale and retail facilities.

RECOMMENDATION:

United Exchange Corp. is notifying its distributors and customers by recall letter and is arranging for return or disposal of all recalled products. Consumers and businesses that have product which is being recalled should stop using and selling them immediately.
