In recent years, several eye drop brands have been subject to recalls due to potential contamination or manufacturing concerns. Regarding the specific question, yes, certain Refresh brand eye drops and ointments have been recalled by the manufacturer, Allergan (a subsidiary of AbbVie).

In March 2017, Health Canada issued a recall for several Buckley’s products due to a potential choking hazard from a defective plastic seal, leading many to ask, why did they stop selling Buckley's cough syrup?. However, the brand itself was not entirely discontinued, and the story behind the product's market presence is more complex, involving multiple recalls and ingredient changes over the years.

While the internet buzzes with claims about a ban, the popular Canadian cough remedy Buckley's was never completely removed from the market. Instead, the product faced several market recalls for specific safety issues and long-standing ingredient-based restrictions in certain countries, which led to the common misconception about why was Buckley's banned.
