A press release with instructions on what to do with the recalled eye drops was not released. The FDA, however, did release an enforcement report with the classification, saying that the company, Rohto-Mentholatum, based in Vietnam, initiated the recall.

A Class II recall is "a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."
