Recent Warning Letters – regarding adulterated and misbranded cosmetics
We became aware that on October 1, 2019 the FDA sent out warning letter to Intenze Product Inc. and Color Art, Inc. DBA Solid Ink regarding adulterated and misbranded cosmetics due to:
- Microbial contamination in tattoo inks that are on the market.
- Tattoo inks that are on the market being prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions.
- Labeling of the tattoo inks on the market being false or misleading because the products are labeled as “sterile” but were found to contain microorganisms.
Tattoo inks contaminated with microorganisms can cause infections and lead to serious health injuries when injected into the skin during a tattooing procedure, since there is an increased risk of infection any time the skin barrier is broken.
The inks referred to in the warning letters are:
- Intenze Advanced Tattoo Ink – True Black
- Intenze – Raw Umber Light
- Solid Ink – Super Red
- Solid Ink – Matte Black
- Solid Ink – White
- Solid Ink – Yellow
- Solid Ink – Orange
- Solid Ink – Olive
- Solid Ink – Deep Red
- Solid Ink – Diablo
