LaRose Industries Recalls Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem Jewelry Kits Due to Risk of Skin, Eye and Respiratory Irritation and Sensitization; Violation of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act
What does this notice say about current status?
The available CPSC record does not provide a current recall-completion status. Do not infer that the issue is resolved from the age of the notice. Follow the official notice and contact the firm for current assistance.
Why was LaRose Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem Jewelry Kits recalled?
The recalled jewelry-making kits contain a resin that, when liquid, can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation or sensitization when inhaled, touched or ingested. The resin contains an acrylate (hydroxyethylmethacrylate "HEMA") in amounts prohibited in children's products by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Already created jewelry should be inspected to confirm it is fully cured. If there is liquid or any liquid residue present, the jewelry should not be worn and should be stored away from children. Once cured, the resin no longer presents the hazard.
What should I do if I have this product?
Consumers should stop using the jewelry making kits immediately and contact LaRose Industries for a full refund. LaRose is contacting all known purchasers directly. Contact: LaRose toll-free at 877-770-7029 from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, email at [email protected], or online at www.recallrtr.com/gemgel or https://cra-z-art.com/ and click "Recall" at the bottom of the page for more information.
