Bausch & Lomb has asked stores to pull ReNu from shelves amid concern the contact lens solution may be linked to a fungal eye infection that can cause blindness.
The company also began placing advertisements in newspapers Friday suggesting consumers use another lens care solution for the time being. The ads feature a letter from Chairman and Chief Executive Ron Zarrella.
"We find ourselves in a position where the safety of one of our products, Renu with MoistureLoc manufactured at our United States plant, is in question," the letter said.
