More than 21 million Miniverse 'Make It Mini' sets by California toymaker MGA Entertainment are being recalled because of potentially hazardous resins, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported June 25. The resins, when in liquid form, can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation or sensitization if inhaled, touched or ingested. The resins contain acrylates in amounts prohibited in children’s products by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.
' Many of the sets are packaged in a sphere that contains the materials required to assemble the intended miniature imitation “appliance,” “food” or “lifestyle” items. The CPSC noted that the resin packaging in each toy set may mimic food items such as a jar of peanut butter, a maple syrup bottle and a milk container, and the resins imitate food when hardened.
