The U.S. Food and Drug Administration this week warned CVS Health Corp. CVS, +3.00%, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. WBA, +2.85% and several smaller consumer products companies about marketing unapproved eye products. “The FDA is particularly concerned that these illegally marketed, unapproved ophthalmic drug products pose a heightened risk of harm to users because drugs applied to the eyes bypass some of the body’s natural defenses,” the FDA said in a release Tuesday.
The FDA’s letter to CVS contained similar warnings about “CVS Health Pink Eye Relief Drops” offered through the CVS website. Both letters also raised concerns about the manufacturing practices of contract manufacturers producing the products. The FDA asked the companies to notify the agency of steps taken to correct the violations within 15 working days.
