At the Nava Law Group, our Houston personal injury lawyers are keeping a sharp eye on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigation into a multistate outbreak — including those recorded in the state of Texas — of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) associated with using the over-the-counter eye drops, EzriCare® Artificial Tears.
As of February 2, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers not to purchase or use EzriCare Artificial Tears due to potential contamination, and EzriCare’s manufacturer, Delsam Pharma, has issued a nationwide recall citing “potential microbial contamination” that is resistant to certain antibiotics typically used as a last resort to treat severe bacterial infections in humans.
Because EzriCare eye drops do not contain preservatives, and a single bottle is designed for multiuse, the risk of bacterial contamination may be greater. If you or someone you love has suffered from an eye infection or other injury because of EzriCare’s use, contact our skilled personal injury attorneys in Houston today to learn more about your legal rights and options to pursue the manufacturer for financial recovery.
Using or continuing to use contaminated eye drops can put consumers at serious risk of serious eye infections.
Currently, the highest risks are associated with the bottles sold with a safety seal and carton box, with the following product codes:

In severe cases, the infections caused by EzriCare could lead to:
