eternal recall

[andrewC]

i just read this on the eikon web site thought id pass it along

There has been an issue identified in the Netherlands regarding Eternal Ink and a higher than acceptable bacteria level on some colors that were tested. A recall of any affected products has been issued in Europe. This is believed to be an isolated incident where Health Officials removed color from a tattoo shop in the Netherlands and took it in for testing purposes. Those test results showed an unacceptable level of bacteria in the pigment. There are 16 colors affected and they are identified by color name, lot numbers and expiry dates - click here to see a chart of affected colors. Please check the bottles of Eternal Ink you have and if you have a bottle that matches the color, lot number and expiry date from the chart, the manufacturer will replace the color for you.

i talked to a guy who is close friends of one of the makers of eternal. it was a batch made in 2007.... i figure we all on here are somewhat going thru our inks a little faster than 2007.. SO.. nothing to worry.. and it was a set that was made for europe.

how did i miss this

[kollin]

not only is it a batch made in 07 but I called eternal about it and they told me they're busting up that lab because the conditions were they were storing their pigments at about 98 degrees which will f@#k any pigment up, this same lab did it before back about 7 years ago, I've talked to two girls and the owner and so far have absolutely 100% no client come back saying my arm fell off.
