Systane Eye Drops Recalled Nationwide Over Fungal Contamination Risk

Alcon Laboratories voluntarily recalls a single lot of preservative-free eye drops after detecting fungal material in a sealed vial.

The recall affects Lot 10101 of Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF, Single Vials On-the-Go, with an expiration date of September 2025.
The contamination was discovered after a consumer reported foreign material in a sealed vial, later identified as fungal in nature.
The FDA warns that fungal contamination in eye products can cause serious eye infections, potentially threatening vision or life in rare cases for immunocompromised individuals.
No adverse reactions or infections have been reported to date, and the recall is being conducted as a precautionary measure.
Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled product immediately and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement.
