CNN reported on thursday that ReNu with Moisture Loc has been withdrawn from sale in the US becuase of a possible assocation with 109 cases of Fusarium keratitis. Currently a B & L press release in the US said that this is precautionary and no association has been found. Has anyone seen any comment or guidance in the UK, and indeed whether this effects the UK supply?
