Authia--smell issue/lot number resolved?

[Guest guest]

Hello listmates,

Back in March of this year there were a number of posts regarding a

particularly " stinky " lot of Authia. As luck would have it, the first

batch we ordered had this lot number--and we decided to hold off on

using it after just a couple of tries. Recently I took it out of the

refrigerator to give it another go, and it is as pungent as ever.

Can anyone tell me if they were able to get later lots that were not

quite as odorous? If so, where did you order it from? I don't want to

re-order and get stuck with old inventory/same lot number if the smell

issue has been resolved.

Thanks.

I must have missed the March posts, but could you share what your lot

number is?

Thanks,

Michele

Michele:

I took a quick look at the archives and it appears that a number of

people were wondering the same thing. Apparently Westlake did have an

analysis done on the lot and it came back certified as being the same

as previous lots. Perhaps someone who was a bit more involved in the

discussion back then could add additional perspective. Importantly,

I'd love to know if anyone is using different lot numbers that have

been manufactured since the " stinky " lot, and, if so, have subsquent

lots been less offensive?

Thanks.

I knew it! I've got the same lot number; and I've found it almost

unbearable to use (this was my first tube).

Just out of curiosity, are there any people with lot numbers other than

309345 who don't think it smells too bad?
