Massive Eye Drop Recall Hits CVS, Walgreens, Kroger — 8 Products Never Tested for Sterility (2026)

Millions of eye drop bottles sold at CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, and other major pharmacies may not be sterile. K.C. Pharmaceuticals of Pomona, California never verified that eight of its over-the-counter eye drop products met sterility standards, the FDA warned.

Consumers should stop using the products and return them for a full refund.
