Eyedrops feared to be contaminated with a bacterial superbug are thought to have killed at least one person and caused blindness in several more.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued an urgent warning over EzriCare Artificial Tears, a popular over-the-counter drug sold across the US.

They are believed to be at the center of 50 eye infections across 11 states between last May and this January, including one that was fatal and several more that caused 'permanent blindness'.
