In April, the FDA said in an inspection report that the Global Pharma Healthcare facility in India did not follow proper protocol to prevent contamination of its products.
'Patients who have used EzriCare or Delsam Pharma's artificial tears and who have signs or symptoms of an eye infection should seek medical care immediately,' the CDC said.
