Summary

Alcon Laboratories has voluntarily recalled one lot of Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF due to potential fungal contamination, the FDA announced.

The recall follows a customer report of foreign material, identified as fungal, in a sealed vial.

The affected lot (10101, expiring September 2025) was sold in 25-count single-use vials at Publix stores. The contamination could cause serious eye infections, especially in immunocompromised patients.

Customers are advised to stop using the product immediately and seek a refund or replacement.
