A drug manufacturer has recalled yet another over-the-counter eye product in the United States amid an outbreak of a rare, antibiotic-resistant bacterial outbreak that was initially linked to eye drops and artificial tears.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that Global Pharma adhered to the agency’s request to recall Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Eye Ointment, an over-the-counter product.
