The FDA says that poor manufacturing practices at a Killitch Healthcare India Limited Facility, in the South Asian nation — which include cracks in the floor and employees walking around barefoot — put users at risk. Using eye drops contaminated with bacteria could lead to severe infection, and even blindness or death.
