WOW Reading from the article above:
“Son Chu Gilliam, 52, entered the plea in federal court Thursday to misdemeanor charges of receipt of adulterated and misbranded devices, and sale of prescription devices without a prescription — those devices being contact lenses.”

HOW in the WORLD can something that could potentially cause Eye Injury, Infection or in worse case Blindness be considered a “..misdemeanor…”???

Second thing of Amazement is the investigations were in 2015 ??
Why did it take 4 years to do something? Good Grief.

Many Tattoo Joints have sleazy reputations now apparently for good reason.

On one hand she was breaking the law… on the other hand, I would think if you are buying your contact lens from a tattoo/head shop, flea market, or halloween costume shop, you can assume they were probably imported from China, and buyer beware. I wonder if anyone actually had any problems with them? Yup, don’t threaten any of the US medical industry with cheaper alternatives… quickest way to get in trouble!

@ Escambia resident ……Well if you bought them from a tattoo shop they might be fake. Also who would buy prescription contacts from a tattoo parlor?? Also also I for one will never patronize “All about ink” what she did is a gross breech of public trust.
