Voluntary Recall of PeroxiClear® 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution in the US and Canada
FOR RELEASE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. -- Bausch + Lomb is conducting a voluntary recall, proposed Class II, of PeroxiClear® 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution in the U.S. and Canada.
Although this voluntary recall represents low risk to the consumer and is unlikely to cause serious health consequences, the company chose to initiate this voluntary action out of an abundance of caution and as part of its ongoing commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
The company chose to initiate this voluntary action based on internal testing that simulated normal product use. Testing showed occasional occurrences where the residual peroxide remaining in the lens case after neutralization was out of product specification.
PeroxiClear solution is unlikely to cause serious health consequences. If the residual hydrogen peroxide is above product specification the user of the product could experience temporary symptoms of burning/stinging, irritation, red eye and in rare circumstances other more serious health consequences. The voluntary recall is limited to the U.S. and Canada. The PeroxiClear® Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution is the only product affected in this voluntary recall.
The company has directly contacted U.S. and Canadian retailers, wholesalers, and eye care professionals who have been shipped this product to initiate the recall and inform them of the steps they should take to return the product.
