Jan-04-2013

A product recall of eye drops has been issued after nearly 36,000 bottles were found to contain printer ink.
Bausch and Lomb, manufacturers of the prescription eye drops, has sent letters to doctors and chemists ordering the return of 35,800.
The company, one of the biggest eye-care firms in the world, has asked for the 1,780 batches - which contain 20 bottles in each - to be returned to their New York base after a manufacturing blunder.
In a letter to hospitals and pharmacies, Irene Fazakerley, of the Scottish Government's health department, said: 'Bausch and Lomb is recalling the batch because black particles have been identified in some packs.
'Initial investigations suggest that the contaminant is printing ink, in which case we understand that the risk of toxicity is low.
'No other batches of this or any other product are affected.
'Healthcare Professionals are asked to quarantine remaining stock and contact the wholesaler from which it was obtained to arrange uplift and replacement.'
