Bausch & Lomb Eye Solution Controversy

In 2006, Bausch & Lomb recalled 2.3 million bottles of ReNu with MoistureLoc after it was linked to an outbreak of Fusarium keratitis, a rare fungal eye infection that can cause blindness. Over 100 cases were reported in the U.S., with additional infections in Asia and Europe, prompting countries like Singapore to suspend sales before the company issued a global recall. Under pressure from the CDC and FDA, the company completely withdrew the product, incurring losses estimated at $100 million and causing significant harm to its reputation.
