  1. There are a lot of consumer products that have been and still are getting recalled due to pseudomanas aeruginosa. please look up this bacteria and what products are affected.

  2. 😱😱😱

  3. You ll need to place pictures of these eye drops bottles , pls !

  4. We shouldn't trust India to make American medicines!

  5. Nothing like just trying to make people paranoid, why aren’t brand names and specific info given? Good example of news trying make people panic

  6. Bad reporting by not showing the brand in type, but showed twice the effects, is brainless reporting. No one is thinking about what they are doing for a newscast. Like a most wanted criminal without the photo.

  7. Guess my eyes will just have to be itchy

  8. Rather than placing the blame on those who use eye drops, sounds like people died/debilitated. The realistic approach is THAT DOESN’t HAPPEN. Law suits coming your way. I wonder how you’ll explain that?

  9. Good Lord — Contaminated eye drops, causing horrific eye problems and loss; and, strep bacterial infections causing loss of legs on a child!?! 😮

  10. Just name the bad brands and kinds of drops contaminated

  11. Not even a link to the recalled products? So, how is this video supposed to help, exactly?

  12. I'm done spending my money.

  13. Curious why no one on here knows how to just "google" the brands themselves. It isn't difficult, we literally live in the age of information.

  14. Ugh I think YT isn't posting my comment because it's too long so…recalled product info in this chain!

    Okay the best I can tell is the EzriCare drops are the main culprit but the FDA has banned anything from the parent company of EzriCare and Delsam, which is called Global Pharma Healthcare. Apotex and Pharmedica issued voluntary recalls. I couldn't find any other specific names/products, so I'm not sure where ABC got 10 different eye drop brands? Maybe there are just more products from the GPH parent company?
    More details on recalled products below.

  15. Funny how they won't name the brands i'm tired of the games America plays on its people

  16. ABCNEWS why wouldn’t you put the names of these eye drops? Damn if you’re going to report the news REPORT THE NEWS

  17. We need to bring back Made in America products again! The Democratic Party NAFTA agreement crushed the US manufacturing. President Trump's policies changed manufacturing with the historic USMCA agreement, but Joe Biden and the Democratic Party are still crushing American manufacturing.

  18. What are the brands names

  19. The FDA lists these products on their recall list:
    Pharmedica USA LLC’s Purely Soothing 15% MSM Drops

    Apotex Corp.’s Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.15%

    Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Tears

    EzriCare’s Artificial Tears

  20. We need to know the brands!!!!

  21. Unbelievable, that a mainstream media click baits their audience and does not list these!

  22. Inferior reporting. What are the ones of the eye drops? Is this geopolitical disinformation?
