EzriCare Eye Drop Lawsuit Investigation

Ellzey & Associates, PLLC IS ACTIVELY REVIEWING CLAIMS against the manufacturers of EzriCare Eye Drops for eye infections, brain infections, blindness, death, and other injuries

I. Introduction

The eyedrops were recalled in early February after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention linked them to an outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This is a rare, extensively drug resistant, and deadly bacteria that has contaminated the EZRICARE ARTIFICIAL TEARS line of EzriCare Eyedrops products. EzriCare recalled the products in February 2023.

As of March 23, 2023, the CDC reports that three people have died from the infection and approximately 68 others across 16 states have reported infections.

Officials were able to trace the current outbreak to the use of over 10 different brands of eyedrops, but noted that the most commonly reported brand used was EzriCare Artificial Tears, which is a preservative free eye-lubricant.
