The FDA has warned consumers about contaminated tattoo ink from Sierra Stain LLC, recalling three pigments due to the presence of harmful microorganisms that may cause serious health issues.
The contamination is particularly concerning as symptoms like rash or hives may be mistaken for allergic reactions, complicating the detection of potential infections from the tattoo pigments.
While no illnesses have been reported yet, the microorganisms found in the ink can cause serious complications, including permanent scarring, fever, chills, and even death in rare cases.
The majority of the detected microorganisms are bacteria found in soil and water, which indicates that the contamination likely occurred due to untreated or untested water during manufacturing.
