Do Pins and Barrels have a used by date?
-
04 November 2009 12:36
Not sure if this is a silly question but my friend told me this. I had a box of unopened pins and barrels from 2 years ago. They have been kept in my garage and the box itself was a little damp. The packets are still sealed, but I am wondering if they will still be safe to use?

I wouldn't use if they've been exposed to dampness. And to answer your question, yes there is a use by date.

Get new ones, is it worth risking contamination?
The pins are going to be entering your body, being sterile is the most important thing.
I wouldn't risk it
