Eternal Tattoo Ink - Lightning Yellow batch recall

in #tattoos7 years ago

Yet another batch of Eternal tattoo ink is on the recall list this week.
The perp, Eternal Lightning Yellow, batch #10/10/16

Eternal is one of the most used tattoo pigments in the industry so I guess we're going to see their recalls the most, still it's no excuse for not keeping their pigment in line with regulation, if this was a brand of food stuff consumers would totally lose all confidence in it seeing as they have so many recalls, they really need to get their act together!!

The report states :


Risk type: Chemical

The product contains the aromatic amine o-anisidine (measured value 23 mg/kg) and amine o-toluidine (measured value: 90 mg/kg).
Aromatic amines can cause cancer, cell mutations and affect reproduction.

The Council of Europe Resolution ResAP (2008)1 on requirements and criteria for the safety of tattoos and permanent make-up, recommends that aromatic amines with carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic or sensitising properties should neither be present in tattoos and permanent make-up products nor released from azo-colourants.
