MGA Entertainment recalls 'Miniverse' children's toys over 'irritation risk'

'Miniverse Make-It-Mini' toy sets recalled over resins that can cause 'irritation or sensitization'

Images provided by MGA Entertainment products and Consumer Safety Product Commission show recalled products which violate the Federal Hazardous Substances Act for high amounts of hydroxyethylmethacrylate "HEMA" and isobornyl acrylate "IBOA."

Toy company MGA Entertainment announced a recall of its "Miniverse Make it Mini" sets after high amounts of acrylates were discovered to violate the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, according to the U.S. Consumer Safety Commission.

Those who have purchased the "Make it Mini" sets are entitled to a refund or replacement, with shipping included. The toys retail anywhere from $6.99 at Walgreen's for a single "food" item, to $167.16 for an entire "Mini Food Cafe" on Amazon.

The Amazon listing for MGA's Miniverse Make it Mini Food Café set included instructions for setting liquid resins included in the package: "SET IT: Set your mini using the included resin in your ingredients."

"Set your finished dish in any UV light (e.g. the sun or UV flashlight) until the resin has hardened. Once it's set, you've got your finished mini collectible."

According to the MGA Entertainment/Consumer Product Safety Commission recall report, "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."

"HEMA" is closely followed as an ingredient contained also in gel nail polish that many consumers are allergic to. Competitive brands like Light Elegance and Dazzle Dry do not contain this acrylate.

The CPSC clarified in the report that, "After the resins cure, they no longer present this hazard."
