It is being reported that federal officials have seized more than 12,682 applicator tubes of a discontinued cosmetic called Age Intervention Eyelash, which they state can cause vision problems in some people.
California-based Jan Marini Skin Research Inc distributed the product and have stated that they feel that they are being unfairly targeted by the FDA.
The product contains bimatoprost, which is an ingredient found in another drug to help control eye pressure.
FDA officials have stated the Age Intervention Eyelash product is an unapproved drug because Jan Marini Skin Research promoted it as something that increases eyelash growth.
The FDA states that patients taking the drug may be at an increased risk of optic nerve damage "because the extra dose of bimatoprost may decrease the prescription drug's effectiveness,"
"We have been unfairly singled out," said Jan Marini, the company's president. "Other companies use the same ingredient and we're not aware of any action that has been taken against them."
The FDA is urging dermatologists, consumers and aestheticians who have the product to throw it away and definitely not use it.
