I’d be nice if there was a list of which eyedrops the FDA was referring to in the article ….

Consumers should stop using the products immediately and avoid purchasing any that remain on pharmacy and store shelves, the FDA said in a statement Friday.

I guess we’re supposed to look elsewhere for actual info on how to protect ourselves. This amounts to clickbait-adjacent in that it’s a real thing but still not the thing we want.

Here you go, the article apparently left that out. This article is a bit better and has a bunch of sources (it's where I got the prev link).

I wonder if it's related to this announcement last month.

Here you go, scroll to the bottom

It looks like it's CVS, Leader, Rugby, Rite Aid, Target, and Velocity Pharma brands.
