Plain-English summary

Pain Relief Naturally is recalling approximately 7,000 units of Numbify, Extra Strength Numbify, Pre-TAT Tattoo, Superior Pain & Itch Relief, and Soothing Sore Relief creams, sprays, and gels.

They were sold online at Amazon.com, Ebay.com, Walmart.com, Tatbalm.net, Naturallyhl.com, and Numbify.com between August 2017 and August 2018 for prices ranging from $12 to $30.
