The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned consumers not to purchase or use certain eye drops from multiple major brands because of an elevated risk of developing a potentially serious eye infection.

In a bulletin released last week, the FDA said that 26 different types of eye drops are being recalled. All of them are sold over-the-counter.
