TopCare Eye Drops Recall
June 15, 2023
Information
Topco Associates has issued a recall for two varieties of TopCare Eye Drops due to the individual units being found to be out of specification: the products are being recalled because of certain good manufacturing deficiencies related to a lack of documentation of the fill line and not related to any complaints related to sterility. Unlike some other eye drop products, the recalled eye drops contain benzalkonium chloride as a preservative. No illnesses or other adverse events have been reported from the use of any of the recalled lots. This is not a product safety concern.
Upon returning the product to your local Big Y or with the proof of purchase (if the product was discarded), you will receive a full refund.
The following products are sold at Big Y:
| Product Name | UPC | Size | Sell-by Date |
| TopCare Eye Drops Original | 3680003639 | 0.5oz | RG21F01 6/2023, RG21F02 6/2023 |
| TopCare Eye Drops Natural Tears | 3680036100 | 0.5oz | LT21F05 6/2023, LT21F03 6/2023 |
