Batch is EXC6OCT14 so apparently before the recall.. I called big als and they told me all this carbon is new, but obviously OCTOBER has long since past..

also cant find the thread on here. I googled the recall dates and it was dec-mid feb, but I'm sure october would have been affected too

No, I think it is a false alarm. A waterchange definitely wouldn't hurt, but I don't think you have contaminated carbon. You could always send an email to Kent and ask "Are you sure EXC6OCT14 isn't affected?"

thanks Myka, and everyone for the help! Hopefully the water changes set things straight. I hope my montis have enough left to come back, everything is just shriveled up right now..

FIngers crossed!

If the date on the bottom wasnt listed in the recall then I can pretty much guarantee that your issue isnt related to kent carbon.....if your still in doubt then take a magnet and place it in your carbon container.....if there are any heavy metals in the carbon it will stick to the magnet......FWIW Ive been using kent carbon for years....
