The South Moon sample was found to be contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia, which is a bacteria that can cause an anti-biotic resistant infection. This is partially due to reports that agency has received claiming that fake Lumify medications have caused eye irritation, pain, and infection. Neither Rebright or South Moon were found to contain the active ingredient of Lumify, brimonidine tartrate. FDA urges consumers to avoid counterfeit medications and to only purchase medications from reputable sources, such as state-licensed pharmacies.
