RECALL ALERT: MGA Entertainment’s "Make it Mini" Sets Violate Federal Hazardous Substance Act, Causing Skin and Respiratory Irritation – Are Your Kids at Risk?

Los Angeles, CA – MGA Entertainment, a toy company based in California, has issued a recall for its “Miniverse Make it Mini” sets due to high levels of acrylates that violate the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The U.S. Consumer Safety Commission discovered elevated amounts of hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) and isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) in the products, prompting the recall.

Customers who have purchased the affected “Make it Mini” sets are eligible for a refund or replacement, including shipping costs. These toy sets are priced between $6.99 for individual items at Walgreen’s to $167.16 for a full “Mini Food Cafe” set on Amazon.

The recalled sets contained liquid resins that could cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation or sensitization in children or adults. The resins, including HEMA and IBOA, are prohibited in children’s products under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Competitive brands like Light Elegance and Dazzle Dry do not contain these acrylates.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, once the resins in the “Make it Mini” sets cure, they no longer pose a hazard. MGA Entertainment is offering a full refund and replacement for the affected products within four weeks, along with shipping.

In response to the recall, MGA Entertainment has not provided any immediate comments to inquiries from FOX Business. The company’s website includes an FAQ page where customers can find information on how to obtain refunds and replacements for the recalled items.
