WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC),
Sassi America Inc., of Elk Grove Village, Ill., is voluntarily recalling about 72,000 bottles of acrylic
primer used to prepare fingernails before applying artificial nails. This methacrylic acid primer is not

sustained severe external and internal chemical burns after swallowing the liquid primer.
The primer is packaged in amber-colored bottles with black caps. The model number 508,
509, 510, 511 or 512 is written on the front of the label. "SASSI" also is written on the labels. The
primer was sold in .25-ounce, .50-ounce, 1-ounce, 2-ounce and 4-ounce size bottles. The acrylic
primers were sold separately and in kits.
Grocery and beauty supply stores nationwide sold the primer from June 2000 through January
2004 for between $2 and $10.
Consumers should return the acrylic primer and kits to the store where purchased to receive a
refund. For more information call Sassi collect at (847) 228-0334 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
