Fears over cap seal leads to solution recall

Abbott Medical Optics is recalling two lots of its AMO Complete multi-purpose solution which may have insecure caps breaching the sterile seal.

A release from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency said two lots of the solution were affected in the UK due to poor fitting caps which may mean the solution was no longer sterile and therefore posed an eye infection risk.

The two lots being recalled are shown below:

The MHRA is advising the public to check the lot number of any AMO Complete multi-purpose solution they may have to see if it tallies with any of the affected lots. It is then advising the public to return the product to the manufacturer or the place of purchase. Abbott Medical Optics supplies opticians, pharmacies and supermarkets, said the MHRA.
