Ten different brands were initially identified as possibly linked to the outbreak, the CDC said. Eyedrops that are made in India and imported to the US under two brands were subsequently pulled from shelves in January and February.
In January, the CDC warned people to stop using EzriCare Artificial Tears and Delsam Pharma's Artificial Tears. The next month, the company that owns the brands - Global Pharma - issued a voluntary recall following a formal recommendation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

I can't tell of you're being sarcastic or not but I've used these for a few years now and can still see.
There was a recall /w this brand
https://www.drugs.com/fda-alerts/1740-20248.html
The link above does NOT link to information about a recall for that specific brand. If anyone would bother reading it, that article states (quote):
"The FDA Alerts below may be specifically about Blink Contacts or relate to a group or class of drugs which include Blink Contacts."
Thank you OP for finding this - that is a great deal that Walgreens runs occasionally. I've been using both the re-wetting drops as well as their contact lens cleaning drops for years & years. For me, these work better than other brands, but everyone is different, so YMMV.

These are fine.
I can't remember the name of the brand that was recalled (I suppose I *could* look it up...), but it wasn't Blink brand—or any of the more popular brands. (iirc, someone said they ones recalled were made in India...I could be totally wrong about that part tho)
I use them often (the exact kind in the pic) & even have a bottle right next to me (I...uhhhh...might wear my contacts 24/7, so I *always* need drops or solution to moisten my eyes throughout the day😬🤷🏻 ♀️)
Edit: I just looked it up, here's the info the brand that WAS recalled (& they *were* made in India, so I actually remembered something!)
"The FDA has recalled Artificial Tears Lubricant Eye Drops and Artificial Eye Ointment, which are Global Pharma Healthcare products distributed by Delsam Pharma and EzriCare, LLC."
(Again, just to reiterate — Blink products are fine!)

Blink products are absolutely fine!
People are just nuts bc of that one brand that recently had a recall—-one manufacturer/brand (& I think just one product?) out of *how many* brands???
...And I had never heard of "EzriCare" products before the recall...as I learned that's the brand to *actually* look out for.
I saw that 2 other brands ("Apotex", & "Purely Soothing") VOLUNTARILY recalled a couple lots of their products just to be safe (with one, of all things it was bc of cracks in the caps), but, again, they weren't any brands I've ever heard/seen in all my years of wearing contacts.
(Actually, I've gotten (really crappy) prescription meds from Apotex in the past, but nothing related to the eyes...I try to stay away from their products just bc they don't work as well as others, & they use shitty materials imo)
The problem occurs in a batch and could happen with most any brand at any time . By the time it's recalled, many are often affected already.
