Ridge Properties, LLC: Tattoo Prep and Pain Relief Products Recalled for Microbial Contamination

Agency Publication Date: September 13, 2019

Summary

Ridge Properties, LLC is recalling 1,228 units of various lidocaine-based creams and gels, including PRE-TAT, Superior Pain & Itch Relief, and Soothing Sore Relief. These over-the-counter products were found to have microbial contamination and contained higher levels of lidocaine than allowed by safety specifications. These products were sold nationwide online through Amazon.com, eBay.com, Walmart.com, tatbalm.net, and Naturallyhl.com between December 2022 and June 2023.

Risk

The products are contaminated with microorganisms and are 'superpotent,' meaning they contain excessive lidocaine levels. This combination poses a risk of infection at the application site and potential systemic toxicity from absorbing too much lidocaine through the skin.

What You Should Do

Check your product labels for the following affected brand names: PRE-TAT 3 in 1 Pre Tattoo Prep, Superior Pain & Itch Relief, or Soothing Sore Relief.
