Eye Drops Sold At CVS Recalled Due To Possibility They May Not Be Sterile

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A number of eye drops manufactured by Altaire Pharmaceuticals and sold under the CVS Health brand are being recalled less than a week after similar products at Walgreens and Walmart were taken off shelves.

The company said concerns that the products may not be sterile led them to issue a recall. Using a non-sterile product intended to be sterile can result in serious injury or death.
