Recalled contaminated eye drops linked to bacteria have led to a fourth death, CDC says

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2023/05/20/recalled-eye-drops-bacteria-deaths-blindness-cdc/70239146007/

'Four people have now died in a multistate outbreak of a drug-resistant bacteria strain tied to recalled eye drops, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC and the Food and Drug Administration in February warned patients and clinicians to stop using EzriCare or Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Tears products after one death from an infection and reactions in dozens of patients, some who experienced permanent eye loss.'
