Samnyte Tattoo Numbing Cream Recalled for Non-Child-Resistant Packaging

Samnyte Tattoo Numbing Cream is recalled because its packaging does not meet child-resistant requirements under federal law. The product contains lidocaine and poses a poisoning risk if ingested by young children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states that no injuries or illnesses have been reported. However, the hazard involves a product accessible to children containing a toxic substance (lidocaine) with packaging that fails to meet federal child-resistant requirements. This represents a risk-of-harm scenario where injury has not yet been reported, which meets the rubric criterion for High severity.

Plain-English summary

Sainite Trading (Shenzhen) Co. LTD, of China manufactured approximately 9,000 units of Samnyte Tattoo Numbing Cream that are being recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The product was sold online at Amazon.com from April 2022 through October 2022 for about $23 per unit and was imported by Liu Xianli (Amazon Storefront: Tattoo Castle USA), of Staten Island, New York.

The cream was sold in 60ml white tubes with flip-top closures and contains Lidocaine 5% with Vitamin E. The packaging fails to meet the child-resistant requirements of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Because the product contains lidocaine, ingestion by young children poses a risk of poisoning.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cream and store it out of reach of children. Contact Liu Xianli for disposal instructions and a full refund. The importer is contacting all known purchasers directly.
