Beware of Amazon’s New Releases

Buyer beware: Amazon still allows unsafe, scam eye drops that have not been listed with the FDA. Just take a look at their Hot New Releases in Moisturizing Eye Drops category, where you'll find color changing eye drops, honey eye drops, and most eye drops coming from China.

Amazon boasts that this category is updated frequently. It’s a perfect window into new scam products that are being added to their platform daily.
