Why Were EzriCare Artificial Tears Recalled?

Global Pharma Healthcare manufactured both EzriCare and Delsam Pharma Artificial Tears and Eye Ointment to help consumers who struggle with eye dryness and/or irritation. The CDC has said that at least 58 people across 13 different states have been affected by these eye lubricants due to a contamination from a bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This type of bacteria is resistant to antibiotics and causes infections in the blood, lungs, and other parts of the body. When Pseudomonas aeruginosa is present in the eyes, it can cause infection, such as:

• Conjunctivitis – pink eye;
• Keratitis – inflammation of the cornea;
• Endophthalmitis – inflammation within the eye
