BRIDGEWATER, N.J.—Bausch + Lomb announced Friday that it is conducting a voluntary recall, proposed Class II, of PeroxiClear 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution in the U.S. and Canada.

“Although this voluntary recall represents low risk to the consumer and is unlikely to cause serious health consequences, the company chose to initiate this voluntary action out of an abundance of caution and as part of its ongoing commitment to quality and customer satisfaction,” the company said in a statement.

B+L said it chose to initiate the recall based on internal testing that simulated normal product use. Testing showed occasional occurrences where the residual peroxide remaining in the lens case after neutralization was out of product specification.

According to B+L, PeroxiClear solution is unlikely to cause serious health consequences. If the residual hydrogen peroxide is above product specification the user of the product could experience temporary symptoms of burning/stinging, irritation, red eye and in rare circumstances other more serious health consequences.

The voluntary recall is limited to the U.S. and Canada. The PeroxiClear Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution is the only product affected in this voluntary recall. The company has directly contacted U.S. and Canadian retailers, wholesalers, and eyecare professionals who have been shipped this product to initiate the recall and inform them of the steps they should take to return the product.

B+L said all lots of the product are being recalled. The UPC Codes for the U.S. are 310119038154, 310119039106, 310119038161, 310119038178, 310119039083 and 310119097120. The UPC Codes for Canada are 010119039211 and 010119039228.
