Altaire Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Wednesday it is voluntarily recalling several over-the-counter products that were manufactured and labeled exclusively for Walgreens.

The items being recalled are certain lots of Lubricant Eye Drops Moisturizing Twin Pack; Sodium Chloride Ophthalmic Ointment, 5% Hypertonicity Eye Ointment; Sodium Chloride Ophthalmic Solution, 5% Hypertonicity Eye Drops and Lubricant Eye Ointment PF Soothing.

Altaire said the recall was initiated "due to management concerns regarding the sufficiency of quality assurance controls over critical systems in the manufacturing facility.

Altaire said it notified Walgreens of the recall on July 3 and has requested that Walgreens notify its customers.

The recall comes a day after Altaire voluntarily recalled multiple ophthalmic products manufactured and labeled exclusively for Perrigo Co. PLC.
