US EditionKids' jewelry-making kits recalled for hazardous substance violation, 224K affected
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced LaRose Industries is recalling 224,100 Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem jewelry-making kits nationwide.
- The recall was initiated because the kits contain liquid resin with excessive levels of hydroxyethylmethacrylate , a hazardous substance, exceeding the limits set by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.
- The recalled kits, sold between January 2023 and September 2024 for $13 to $36, include ten models and one refill pack, featuring a resin bottle, UV setting light, and packaging with "Cra-Z-Art," "Gemex," or "crazy gel2gem" branding.
- The liquid resin poses a risk of skin, eye, and respiratory irritation upon contact, ingestion, or inhalation, although no injuries have been reported to date.
- Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the kits, contact LaRose for a full refund, inspect already-made jewelry for uncured resin, and, if present, store the jewelry away from children, noting that cured resin is no longer hazardous.
