The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday expanded its warning not to buy or use eyedrops sold by several major retailers, sometimes under their own brand names. The warning now includes the product Equate Hydration PF Lubricant Eye Drop 10 mL sold by Walmart, the FDA said. 'Walmart is removing the product from their store shelves and website,' it said in an updated drug safety warning.
Retailer CVS and pharmaceutical Cardinal Health, the concern behind the eyedrops sold under the Leader and Rugby brands, each said separately that Velocity Pharma LLC was the supplier. Velocity Pharma is based in Farmingdale, New York. It did not respond to multiple inquiries, including a question regarding where its eyedrops are made. The FDA did not respond to an inquiry about the location of the facility it said was the site of unsanitary conditions.
