A popular household brand of eye drops has been recalled after a ‘potentially life-threatening’ fungal contamination was discovered. Alcon Laboratories told users on December 21 to ‘immediately’ stop using Systane Lubricant Eye Drops from one lot after a consumer complaint.

Fungal contamination of an eye product is known to potentially cause eye infections​​, which may be vision- or life-threatening, according to the FDA.

Systane eye drops were recalled earlier this week after the company discovered a fungal contamination in one of its products.
