The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a notice that more eye drops are being recalled worldwide because of possible bacterial contamination.

Pharmedica USA LLC is voluntarily recalling two lots of its Purely Soothing, 15 percent MSM Drops due to a non-sterility problem, according to the warning notice posted by the FDA. Methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, is found in a number of supplements and is touted as a treatment for a range of health issues.
