January 7, 2011 – URGENT VOLUNTARY EYE DROP RECALL
Bausch + Lomb Soothe® Xtra Hydration (XH) Eye Drops
Bausch + Lomb is conducting a voluntary recall of its new Soothe® Xtra Hydration (XH) eye drops. The Soothe® Xtra Hydration (XH) eye drops are presently only available within the United States. This recall is being initiated as a precaution, prompted by a handful of consumer reports citing the presence of possible foreign matter in the tip their bottles. Initial testing by Bausch + Lomb on the opened, partially-used product has identified the particles as mold. To protect patient safety, Bausch + Lomb has decided to initiate a voluntarily recall of Soothe® Xtra Hydration (XH) eye drops. No other Bausch + Lomb Soothe® products are affected by this action. To clarify, Soothe® Xtra Protection (XP) eye drops, Soothe® Preservative Free eye drops and Soothe® Night Time ointment are all unaffected by this voluntary recall.
While there have been no adverse events reported for this product in connection to mold, Bausch + Lomb has chosen to voluntarily recall all existing lots of the Soothe® Xtra Hydration (XH) eye drops in the interest of patient safety. After the bottle is opened, eye drops which may become contaminated may also cause eye infections, as such we are taking this voluntary action to protect our consumers. Bausch + Lomb is currently conducting an ongoing investigation into the reports of mold in the tip of the bottles. A determination of future product distribution will be made at the close of this investigation which could last several months.
