The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of Dr. Berne’s MSM Drops 5% Solution and Dr. Berne’s MSM Eye Drops – Eye Repair. The recall was issued after it was discovered that the eye drops may be contaminated with bacteria. The affected eye drops were distributed nationwide and were sold online and in retail stores. The FDA is urging consumers who have the affected eye drops to stop using them and to return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

The bacteria that was found in the eye drops is called Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacteria can cause eye infections, which can lead to serious health problems, including blindness. There have been no reports of any injuries or illnesses associated with the use of the affected eye drops. However, the FDA is issuing the recall out of an abundance of caution.

If you have any questions about the recall, you can contact the FDA’s Consumer Complaint Coordinator at 1-888-463-6332.  The recall is a reminder of the importance of using eye drops that have been properly sterilized. It is also important to follow the directions on the eye drop label carefully. If you experience any eye pain, redness, or swelling after using eye drops, you should stop using them and see a doctor immediately.
