Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Intenze Golden Yellow tattoo ink (Article ST 1004GLY, lot 8844, manufactured 05/11/08, expiring 05/11/13) has been recalled due to chemical contamination. The product contains o-anisidine at 22 mg/kg and p-anisidine, both of which present serious health risks. O-anisidine is classified as carcinogenic and may cause cancer, is toxic by inhalation and skin contact, and poses possible risk of irreversible effects. P-anisidine is highly toxic by skin contact and carries risk of cumulative effects on certain organs. These substances are of particular concern because tattoo ink is applied permanently under the skin.
The product does not comply with European Resolution 2008 ResAP (2008)1. The recall was initiated by Italy. The affected product is identifiable by its clear plastic vial with black cap, transparent nozzle, yellow pigment, and multicolored rainbow-style label. The source does not specify a remedy for affected consumers.
