FDA Recalls Ink-Eeze Tattoo Numbing Spray for Lack of Approval

Indelicare LLC is recalling Ink-Eeze Tattoo Numbing Spray because it is marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA).

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The primary issue is regulatory (unapproved status) rather than a reported safety incident or high-risk pathogen.

Plain-English summary

Indelicare LLC is voluntarily recalling 683 bottles of Ink-Eeze Tattoo Numbing Spray, 2 oz. (59 mL). The product contains 5% Lidocaine HCl as a topical anesthetic and was distributed in California and Colorado. The specific lot number is L0207.

The recall was initiated because the product is being marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). Although Lidocaine 5% is an ingredient in many FDA-approved products, the specific formulation in Ink-Eeze is considered an unapproved new drug.

Consumers who have purchased this product should stop using it and contact Indelicare LLC at (800) 611-7720 or visit www.inkeeze.com for further instructions.
