FDA recalls 4 inks due to bacterial contamination

Starbrite has 4 colours recalled

After my recent previous post on recalls just days later the FDA has recalled 4 additional colours, all Starbrite with the reason for the recalls being ‘Tattoo ink contaminated with bacteria (Clostridium spp., Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus sanguinis, and Streptococcus alactolyticus)’.

The colours are :

Deep Blue

Country Blue

Deep Green

Bright White

Lot and batch numbers can be viewed on the FDA’s page :

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/?Event=91954

I’ve made this ‘mini’ post because Starbrite is a longstanding ink brand and no doubt has quite a few people using it. If you use any of the above inks please check your lot and batch numbers and act accordingly.

Safe tattooing all
