Forté Update- from ChiaoGoo needles
At this time, we regret to inform you that production of the Forte set has been temporarily suspended. Since its release back in November, we have experienced a high breakage rate in the smaller sized [S] join tips and need to reassess several things before resuming production.
We are working hard to find a solution. However, due to the current COVID situation in China and the Chinese New Year shutdown, little progress will occur until the second half of February or March. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you and ask for continued patience.
Individuals or retailers who have experienced breakage or have a problem with their Forte set and are located in the US can receive direct support from us by going to our website and filling out a Replacement Request form.
Those outside of the US can receive assistance from the retailer or distributor they purchased the sets from.
While our plan is to have another supply of the Forte sets for distribution, we don’t foresee them being available for purchase again until June of this year. No pre-orders will be taken.
