Bausch & Lomb is conducting a voluntary recall of ALL LOTS of its Soothe® Xtra Protection (XP) eye drops, only available within the United States. (Expiration Dates: February 2011 through August 2012).
Bausch + Lomb chose to initiate this voluntary recall of the Soothe Xtra Protection (XP) product based on testing which showed several lots of the product were out of specification for the preservative efficacy prior to their listed date of shelf-life expiration.
There have been no adverse events reported for this product which have been attributed to preservative efficacy however this product is being recalled in the interest of patient safety. Product which is out of specification near the end of shelf-life may present insufficient protection against inadvertent microbial contamination during storage and usage of the product.
Potential adverse events may include: burning, stinging, eye redness or eye discomfort. Consumers should contact their doctor if they have any of these symptoms.
Please return this item to the place of purchase, before March 31, 2011 for a refund. For instructions on return and reimbursement, contact the Soothe XP Xtra Protection Hotline: 1-866-761-9526. This line is open Monday through Friday, 8am - 5 pm EST.
