Why it was recalled

The firm identified a labeling error affecting Made-To-Order (MTO) Biofinity XR Toric blister labels. The primary blister reads Biofinity Multifocal Toric in error, and should read Biofinity XR Toric. The outer carton correctly reads Biofinity XR Toric.

Class III means the product violates regulations but is not likely to cause harm.
