The Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of over 3.1 million eye drop bottles distributed nationwide due to concerns about sterility.

The recalled eye drops were sold under multiple brand names at major retailers including Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, H-E-B, and Military Exchanges, according to the FDA.

The agency cited sterility issues as the reason for the recall, though specific details about potential contamination or health risks were not immediately provided in the initial announcement.

The recall affects eye drop products that were distributed across the United States through the various retail chains. Consumers who have purchased eye drops from these retailers are advised to check their products against the recall notice.

This recall follows previous FDA actions regarding eye drop safety, as the agency has increased scrutiny of over-the-counter eye care products in recent years due to contamination concerns that have led to serious infections in some cases.
