Johnson & Johnson Vision Care has initiated a voluntary recall of its 1-Day Acuvue TruEye contact lenses made of narafilcon A. According the Associated Press, these lenses were only distributed in Japan and parts of Asia and Europe, according to the AP; 100,000 boxes in total have been recalled. No consumers in either the U.S. or Canada should be effected (the North American lenses are made of narafilcon B).
The recall is bases on a limited number of user complaints related to a stinging sensation felt when the lenses were placed on the eye. According to Johnson and Johnson the problem stems from a malfunctioning manufacturing line in Ireland.
This is the eighth recall of a J & J product in the last year including children’s Tylenol and other cold and pain medications. The company is currently under investigation by the U.S. Congress.
