Complete MoisturePlus
Advanced Medical Optics has recalled 2.9 million bottles of Complete MoisturePlus contact lens solutions after harmful bacteria were found in units sold in Japan. The contamination was found after a retailer in Japan complained that bottles of the contact lens solution appeared to be damaged.
The manufacturer announced a nationwide, voluntary recall of certain lots of its 12-ounce COMPLETE MoisturePLUS multipurpose contact lens care solution and Active Packs. Product sold in Japan were found to have bacterial contamination, which compromised sterility. Because of this production-line issue at its manufacturing plant in China, Advanced Medical Optics has taken the necessary precaution of recalling 18 lots distributed in the U.S. which were manufactured on the same production lines during the same production period. Contamination from contact lens solution may have serious side effects, including eye infection and microbial keratitis.
Included in the recall:
- COMPLETE MoisturePLUS Active Pack
- COMPLETE MoisturePLUS 12oz (360 mL)
- COMPLETE MoisturePLUS 2 X 12 oz
Advanced Medical Optics expects to pay up to as much as $40 million to write down inventory, sanitize and upgrade the palant in China, and expand marketing to win back customers after the costly recall. Altogether, the recall is expected to cost the manufacturer over $50 million.
