NOPE... mine was definitly contaminated and it WAS NOT in the batch they recalled.
So anyone using Kent carbon recently bought should return it no matter what because it still might be contaminated despited them not issuing a recall!
Here is their reply when I asked them why my carbon was not in the recall:
"
They could only test batches that they had samples for. That is why we are asking for samples from batches that we have not been able to test."
So they only did a recall in the carbon they tested, that's all. Anyone having some bad reaction with their corals after adding Kent carbon should remove it immediatly, then do a large water change and add some Polyfilter to filter out the copper and nickel which were the heavy metals contaminants in my batch of carbon.
