WASHINGTON, June 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Recall Summary
Name of Product: Miniverse Make It Mini Sets with
Liquid Resins
Hazard: The recalled Make It Mini sets contain
resins that, when liquid, can cause skin, eye, and respiratory
irritation or sensitization when inhaled, touched, or ingested by
children or adults. The resins contain acrylates
(hydroxyethylmethacrylate "HEMA" and isobornyl acrylate
"IBOA") in amounts prohibited in children's products by the Federal
Hazardous Substances Act. After the resins cure, they no longer
present this hazard.
Remedy: Refund, Replace
Consumers should immediately stop using any units with unused
resins and contact MGA to receive a pre-paid label to return
either: (a) the entire product, including the unused resin, if the
product has not been opened, or (b) the unused resins and a
photograph of the product if the product has been opened. Consumers
will receive a full refund or replacement product, at the
consumer's choice.

Recall Details
Units: About 21 million (In addition, about 1
million in Canada)
Description: This recall involves Miniverse Make It
Mini Sets with unused liquid resins. These sets include "Make It
Mini Appliances," all models and series of "Make It Mini Food," and
"Make It Mini Lifestyle."
Most sets consist of a sphere which contains the materials
required to assemble the intended miniature imitation "appliance,"
"food," or "lifestyle" items. The resin packaging in each set may
imitate food items such as a peanut butter jar, maple syrup, milk
container, etc. and the resins when hardened imitate food. The
sphere consists of a disposable wrapper bearing "MGA's Miniverse"
on a yellow burst background and "Make It Appliances," or "Make It
Mini Food," in bright pink or "Make It Mini Lifestyle" in salmon
pink. The wrapper contains information related to the
manufacturer's identity and country-specific information in
different languages. The sets packaged in spheres could also be
sold as bundles with multiple units. The "Kitchen", "Multipack",
"All You Can Eat", "Ice Cream Social", and "Pizza Party" sets come
in dedicated boxes with similar labeling without spheres. The item
number and the UPC code are printed on the back side of the
wrapper.
