    The table of products in the article wasn’t really clear to me. Here’s a link from FDA directly

    https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-warns-consumers-not-purchase-or-use-certain-eye-drops-several-major-brands-due-risk-eye

    Key takeaway is:

    These products are marketed under the following brands:

    • CVS Health
    • Leader (Cardinal Health)
    • Rugby (Cardinal Health)
    • Rite Aid
    • Target Up&Up
    • Velocity Pharma
    • Ubettawerk@lemmy.blahaj.zone

    If you’re using 26 eye drop products then you need an intervention.
