Kilitch Healthcare India issued the recall on November 13 and the Food and Drug Administration published the notice on November 15. The recall is something of a formality, since the FDA had already alerted US stores last month to stop selling the over-the-counter drops. Consumers should not use the products due to the risk of vision loss or blindness, the FDA said. FDA officials don't have the legal authority to force manufacturers to recall their products, and instead rely on companies to "voluntarily" do so. The FDA previously stated it recommended the manufacturer recall the eyedrops on Oct. 25. Mumbai-based Kilitch Healthcare said it has not received "any reports of adverse events" related to its products. The lubricating drops were distributed in the US by Velocity Pharma, based in Farmingdale, N.Y., and carry expiration dates between November 2023 and September 2025
