From the FDA’s Sept. 2, 2016, announcement:

Kinetic Technologies and Kinetic Vet located in Lexington, KY has voluntarily recalled Hy-Optic – lot # 10092015, OptiVet – lot # 12032015 and Optimend – lot # 01122015. This voluntary recall is the result of deficiencies in sterility, which may lead to deteriorating eye conditions, irritation and/or infection.

Hy-Optic Eye Irrigating Solution – NDC # 51031-011-15,  Lot # 10092015,  Exp. Date 10/2017
