00:00 The FDA sent letters on Tuesday to eight companies for what it believes is the unlawful marketing
00:07 of eye-related drug products that could be harmful.
00:10 The FDA gave companies a 15-day window to respond with their plans for addressing the
00:15 violations with the threat of legal action.
00:19 The companies included CVS Health, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc., Boiron Inc., DR Vitamin
00:26 Solutions, Natural Ophthalmics Inc. and Oclumed LLC, to name a few.
00:32 The letters noted that products applied directly to the eye can bypass the body's natural
00:37 defenses.
00:38 The potential for developing a condition called "argyria" was also highlighted, caused
00:44 by the long-term use of products containing silver.
00:47 The Hill reports that these warning letters are part of the FDA's ongoing efforts to
00:52 keep the public safe from potentially harmful eye products.
