Millions of eye drops recalled after FDA sterility warning
The FDA reported it recalled millions of eye drops due to sterility concerns after KC Pharmaceuticals discontinued the product sold at Walgreens, CVS and Kroger.
Graco announced that it is recalling a limited number of its SnugRide Turn & Slide infant car seats after discovering a structural defect in the base of the seat during post-manufacturing testing.
The voluntary recall applies to some models sold from January to March at major retailers such as Amazon, Target and Walmart. Graco said parents should immediately stop using the seat with the base, but can continue to use the seat alone while waiting for a free base replacement.
“We know that parents rely on Graco products every day, and we understand the frustration and confusion this can cause families. We are working quickly to support affected families and will provide replacement products at no charge,” Graco said.
The company did not specify the specific structural issue, but said the defect was discovered during “post-manufacturing laboratory testing.”
Here’s what you need to know about the recall.

What should I do if I have a child seat that is subject to a recall?
Graco says customers should immediately stop using child seats with bases if it is part of the recall. Parents can continue to use the seat without the base while waiting for a replacement.
To receive a free replacement base, Graco asks customers to take a photo of the label on the base showing the model number, date of manufacture, and serial number and submit it to the company.
