Health Canada announces that AbbVie Corporation of Canada is recalling all lots of Refresh Lacri-Lube eye ointment because some tubes may leak, which could lead to contamination with bacteria and other microbes and the risk of infection. Seniors and those with a weakened immune system may be at a higher risk.
Refresh Lacri-Lube is an over-the-counter sterile eye lubricant used to temporarily relieve eye burning, irritation and discomfort due to dryness or exposure to wind or sun. Some tubes of the affected product were observed to be leaking from the bottom due to an opening in the seal.
