Kids use the Miniverse Make It Mini Sets to make miniature creations out of resin, which they solidify with a UV light.

But the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning parents and their kids that the resin, when liquid, can have harmful effects.

The resins contain acrylates, which are derived from acrylic acid, at levels that are banned in children’s products. When the resins cure, however, they are no longer hazardous. Parent company MGA Entertainment is aware of 26 reported incidents affiliated with its products, which include claims of skin burns and irritation, and respiratory irritation. One report states that a customer’s asthma was triggered.
