What consumers should do
Because FDA considers adverse health consequences unlikely for a Class III recall, the recommended action is still to stop using the product and follow the recalling firm's instructions, since a recall means the product did not meet FDA requirements. Specifically, check whether the product in your possession matches the description on file with FDA -- PRED MILD, prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension, USP, 0.12%, 10 mL, Sterile, Rx only, Allergen, Inc., an AbbVie company, North Chicago, IL 60064, Product of France, NDC 11980-174-10. -- and the recall number D-0551-2026. If it matches, stop using or distributing it and contact AbbVie Inc. or the point of purchase for return or replacement instructions. Retailers and distributors holding affected inventory should quarantine it and follow the firm's written recall notice.
What this classification means
FDA classifies a recall as Class III when using the recalled product, or being exposed to it, is not likely to cause any adverse health consequences. In this case, the recalling firm is AbbVie Inc. and the affected product is described in FDA's record as: PRED MILD, prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension, USP, 0.12%, 10 mL, Sterile, Rx only, Allergen, Inc., an AbbVie company, North Chicago, IL 60064, Product of France, NDC 11980-174-10.. FDA's stated reason for the recall is: Failed Stability Specifications. The recall is tracked under FDA recall number D-0551-2026 and carries a status of Ongoing as of the most recent FDA enforcement report. This classification reflects FDA's assessment of the product defect described above, not a prediction about any specific patient outcome. FDA maintains a public enforcement report database so that consumers, physicians, and purchasers can look up the exact product identifiers involved before deciding what to do. Recall status can change while FDA and the recalling firm continue corrective actions, so checking the firm's own notice for the most current guidance is recommended. Adverse events believed to be related to a recalled product can be reported to FDA's MedWatch program, which FDA uses to monitor safety signals after a recall is opened.
