Similasan Corp.<\/em>, claims that Similasan and its private label partners CVS and Walgreens misled customers by advertising their eye drops as &#8220;homeopathic,&#8221; &#8220;plant-based,&#8221; or &#8220;sterile&#8221;\u2014without disclosing the risk of silver sulfate, a preservative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The products in question were sold between <strong>Sept. 11, 2017, and Feb. 20, 2025<\/strong>, and include popular items like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Similasan Dry Eye Relief<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similasan Pink Eye Relief<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CVS Pink Eye Drops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walgreens Stye Eye Drops<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Plaintiffs argued these claims misled consumers into paying more for what they believed were safer, natural products. The lawsuit alleged that many of the ingredients\u2014such as sodium carbonate and silver sulfate\u2014are synthetic or not truly plant-based. While Similasan denies wrongdoing, it chose to settle to avoid continued litigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-52.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1651\" style=\"width:502px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-52.png 640w, https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-52-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-52-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This case adds to growing scrutiny of so-called &#8220;natural&#8221; or &#8220;homeopathic&#8221; remedies, as seen in prior lawsuits involving dietary supplements and skincare products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who&#8217;s Eligible for the Similasan Eye Drop Class Action Settlement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You qualify if you purchased any of the covered products <strong>for personal use<\/strong> between <strong>Sept. 11, 2017, and Feb. 20, 2025<\/strong>.
