Class II — the FDA judged the product may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, with a remote chance of serious harm.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone. Most recalls are Class II or III.
Lubricant Eye Drops Solution, Polyethylene Glycol 400 0.4% Eye Lubricant, Propylene Glycol 0.3% Eye Lubricant, Lubricant Eye Drops, Moisturizing, Sterile, 0.5 FL OZ (15mL) per dropper bottle, Distributed by: AvKARE, Pulaski, TN 38478, NDC: 50268-126-15.
Why it was recalled
cGMP deviations and lack of assurance of sterility.
The recall was initiated by BRS Analytical Services, LLC (the firm that distributes or relabels it); the product is made by AvPAK. That is normal — the distributor, not always the maker, files the recall.
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
