The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Abbott Laboratories (ABT) has recalled bottles of two contact lens solutions in parts of Europe and the Middle East--Complete Multi-Purpose product and Total Care--because of poor-fitting caps that could compromise the products' sterility. Just a few days ago, the recall affected only lots of Complete sold in Great Britain after the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency issued an alert on Friday. The British agency and Abbot are concerned about a potential leak in the bottles' flip-top caps. The solution itself is not contaminated.
