Fluorescein Strip Recall

We got a notice yesterday that fluorescein strips manufactured by Vistamerica were recalled. This comes a week after there was a notice about BioGlo strips. Both seem to be made through “Wizcure Pharmaa” since they both state the manufacturer is, “voluntarily recalling Fluorescein item/lot due to the Wizsure Pharmaa recall due to the product manufactured was not in conformance with current good manufacturing practices.” We pulled back all of our stock but there are no alternatives that I know of. Is anyone else affected and do you have a plan you could share?
