On November 22, 2006, nearly 183,000 packages of 12-ounce Complete MoisturePLUS multipurpose contact lens solution and Complete MoisturePLUS Active Packs were recalled due to possible bacterial contamination. The FDA and Advanced Medical Optics (AMO), the manufacturer, say contact lens wearers should stop using the recalled products immediately.
People should remove their contacts and talk to an eye care specialist immediately if they experience eye infection symptoms such as redness, pain, tearing, increased sensitivity to light, blurry vision, discharge, or swelling, say the FDA and Advanced Medical Optics.
The company blames production problems at a manufacturing plant in China for the problem. The following lot numbers have been recalled:
