The following products have been linked to eye infections and are recalled:
EzriCare Artificial Tears and Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Tears are produced by the same manufacturer: Global Pharma Healthcare.
EzriCare, Delsam, and Global Pharma eye drops have been recalled due to bacterial contamination, potentially during the manufacturing process.
Contaminated eye drops have been linked to at least four deaths and numerous reports of eye infection.
Global Pharma announced they were voluntarily recalling these products in February 2023.
The FDA and CDC have both published warnings about these products.
If you or a loved one used contaminated EzriCare Artificial Tears, Delsam Pharma Artificial Tears, or any other product included in the recall, you must seek medical care immediately.
Consumers are also encouraged to report adverse events related to these products.
Using contaminated artificial tears products can put you at major risk for health complications, such as permanent vision loss, eye infection, bloodstream infection, blurry vision, eye pain, and more.
Contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
They can provide you with guidance and medical attention unique to your situation.
On August 22, the FDA released a new warning urging vendors and consumers to stop selling and using two additional types of artificial tear drops.
The two types of eyedrops are Dr. Berne’s MSM Drops 5% Solution and LightEyez MSM Eye Drops, and they are believed to be contaminated with bacteria and or fungi.
In part of its statement, the FDA said it conducted sampling and testing of these products and found that they both are contaminated with microbes and are not sterile.
As of September 9, the FDA has not received any reports of these additional eye drop types causing injury, however, they continue to warn that the risk of injury from using these products is high.

On February 9, 2023, a Florida woman filed a lawsuit against EzriCare artificial tears, citing a resistant bacterial infection that caused her unrelenting pain after using the eye drops.
This came a week after EzriCare issued a nationwide recall due to possible bacterial contamination of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in their eye drops.
Since that first lawsuit was filed, the CDC has registered 81 cases across 18 states of infections caused by EzriCare eye drops.
Delsam has also issued recalls for contaminated eye drops; Delsam distributes eye drops from the same manufacturer as EzriCare.
Out of these 81 infections, there have been four deaths, four cases of eyeballs being surgically removed, and 14 cases of vision loss.
Symptoms of possible infection typically include yellow, green or clear discharge from the eye; eye or eyelid redness; the sensation of something being in the eye; increased sensitivity to light; or blurry vision.
In April of this year, an FDA inspection of the facility where the EzriCare and Delsam eye drops are produced concluded that the manufacturing process lacked measures to ensure product sterility, specifically in product batches that were produced between December 2020 and April 2022.
Some of their findings showed that the water filtration system was not fully functioning and that the airflow in the factory’s aseptic cleaning rooms were limited.
Both of these instances can create conditions that allow bacteria to flourish.
This lawsuit is still in early pre-trial stages, and new cases of infection are still being discovered.
If you used EzriCare or Delsam eye drops and subsequently suffered from eye pain, injury, or infection you may be eligible to file an EzriCare Artificial Tears Lawsuit.

In early 2023, Global Pharma Healthcare voluntarily recalled several eye drop products due to reports of a rare strain of bacterial contamination.
Weeks later, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) put out an official warning concerning the Global Pharma Healthcare voluntary recall.
The additional guidance published by the FDA also touched on quality problems associated with Global Pharma Healthcare products, stating the following:
“FDA recommended this recall due to the company’s current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) violations, including lack of appropriate microbial testing, formulation issues (the company manufactures and distributes ophthalmic drugs in multi-use bottles, without an adequate preservative), and lack of proper controls concerning tamper-evident packaging.”
The FDA also issued an import alert on Global Pharma products for the company’s inadequate response to a records request and for not complying with CGMP requirements.
In April 2023, it was reported that the FDA found dozens of issues at the factory where the contaminated eye drops were produced.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified that EzriCare Artificial Tears and other products may contain carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with Verona integron-mediated metallo-β-lactamase and Guiana extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (VIM-GES-CRPA)
Carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) is an extensively drug resistant strain of bacteria.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also said that this is the first time this rare strain has been reported in the United States.
EzriCare Artificial Tears and other products included in the recall have been associated with a number of adverse events.
Serious infections can result from using eye drops contaminated with pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Serious injuries related to EzriCare Artificial Tears include:
Commonly reported symptoms of eye infections from CRPA contamination include:
The potential bacterial contamination of over 50,000 Global Pharma Healthcare products is a major concern for public health.
These types of products are used by people dealing with dry eyes, ocular hypertension, open-angle glaucoma, and more.
Something you should never have to deal with on the consumer level is the potential for serious infections and injuries.
That is why our law firm is investigating the recall and representing victims of eye infections resulting from contaminated products.
If you or a loved one used EzriCare Eye Drops or other recalled products and were subsequently injured or killed, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and seek compensation.
