Larose Industries has issued a recall of 224,100 CRA-Z-ART GEMEX/GEL2GEM jewelry making kits after learning that acrylates are harmful to the resins in the kit.
The recall alert stated that liquid form resins are prohibited from hydroxyethyl methacrylate, also known as “hema”, and can cause irritation or sensitization of the skin, eyes and respiratory tract if inhaled, touched or ingested.
Product volumes exceed those permitted for children’s products under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

Thousands of pounds of ground coffee have been recalled due to misunderstanding error: FDA
Resin is only dangerous if it has not been fully cured. That is, there is a liquid or liquid residue. In that case, the manufacturer states that gems should not be worn, but should be kept away from children.
Larose Industries said no injuries were reported.
