The more than two dozen tainted eye drops that the FDA warned could cause infection and vision loss have been traced back to an unsanitary factory, according to a report
The tainted eye drops that the Food and Drug Administration recently warned people to stop using ASAP have reportedly been traced back to a factory in India.
The more than two dozen affected eye-drop brands sold by retailers like Walmart, CVS, Target and Rite Aid were made by Kilitch Healthcare India Ltd. in Navi Mumbai, India, according to a federal inspection report seen by Bloomberg News. The report cites unsanitary conditions in the factory, such as workers being barefoot in the facility and falsifying test results so that the products made there appeared to be safe, according to the news site. The FDA has banned the Kilitch factory from shipping any more of its eye drops to the U.S. The FDA also asked the factory to recall its eye drops, but it has not done so yet.
