AMO MoisturePlus solution recalled in Asia-Pacific

Advanced Medical Optics has recalled 2.9 million units of its Complete MoisturePlus multipurpose contact lens solution in the Asia-Pacific region and the US following a production line issue at its plant in Hangzhou, China.

On Tuesday the US firm announced that, after the discovery of three non-sterile production lots in Japan, it was implementing the voluntary recall as a precautionary measure.

AMO UK said that the recall did not in any way affect Complete MoisturePlus solution in Europe as it is supplied from the production plant in Madrid. 'Please be reassured that this unfortunate event was a temporary production issue and is not related to our formulation which has been used succesfully for many years in our markets.
