Pro Numb's 4% lidocaine numbing spray, marketed for sensitive skin, has been recalled — the second topical-anesthetic recall in this batch, and a category every practice that does tattoo, permanent makeup, or microneedling should be watching.
Do the quick sweep: is this spray anywhere in your PMU or microneedling kit, or on a retail shelf? If so, isolate it and check the lot against the official notice before it's used again.
Numbing sprays feel casual — they're sold direct-to-consumer and travel easily between rooms and artists — which is exactly why recalls slip past. Build a thirty-second habit of cross-checking your topical anesthetics against FDA recall notices, because these products turn over fast and the labeling or potency problems behind a recall aren't visible in the bottle.
The specific lots and recall reason are listed in the official FDA record.
