K.C. Pharmaceuticals recalled lubricating and redness-relief drops sold under 27 labels, including Walgreens, Kroger, Equate, up&up, Publix, H-E-B and Clear Eyes, because sterility can't be assured. The FDA rates it Class II. Check your 0.5-ounce bottles against the FDA's lot list and stop using any match.
