Arena Withdraws Approval for some Carbon-Pro Suits

This is very interesting: swimswam.com/.../ What are people who bought one of these for USMS Nationals going to do? I'm sure Arena is going to offer to replace the suits, but with Nationals days away it's going to be tough to get a new one before the meet starts. Arena, therefore, advised FINA of its decision to withdraw the approval codes of concerned POWERSKIN Carbon-Pro models: AR220993 – woman full body open back AR220994 – woman full body closed back AR141364 – man jammer Consequently, as of May 7 onwards, all POWERSKIN Carbon-Pro suits to be used in FINA sanctioned events will have the following approval codes: AR221039 – woman full body open back AR221028 – woman full body closed back AR141028 – man jammer

    Yeah, I've got an FS Pro without the stamp, too. I suspect it's just old stock from before when Fina started stamping them. The FS Pro is definitely a legal suit. And another stampless FS Pro owner here :) This thread actually had me scared thinking about it not having a stamp. Is this 100% verified an approved suit or should we still be running it by an official?
