"The recall by Brassica Pharma Pvt. in Thane, a city in the Indian state of Maharashtra, comes after a deadly outbreak last year of #EyeInfections linked to artificial tears made by another Indian firm.
"Sold nationwide by retailers including #CVS Health and #Walmart, the latest recall involves four products by brands #Equate, #CVSHealth and #AACEPharmaceuticals, according to the notice posted Monday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
