    Consumers should stop using the products immediately and avoid purchasing any that remain on pharmacy and store shelves, the FDA said in a statement Friday.

    I guess we’re supposed to look elsewhere for actual info on how to protect ourselves. This amounts to clickbait-adjacent in that it’s a real thing but still not the thing we want.

      The brands sold are:

      • CVS Health
      • Leader (Cardinal Health)
      • Rugby (Cardinal Health)
      • Rite Aid
      • Target Up&Up
      • Velocity Pharma

      Looks like they all contain carboxymethylcellulose sodium, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, hypromellose, and/or dextran. Heres the FDA info I sourced this from: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-warns-consumers-not-purchase-or-use-certain-eye-drops-several-major-brands-due-risk-eye#eyedrops
