Issue
Consumer products - Chemical hazard
What to do

Immediately stop using the recalled MGA’s Miniverse “Make It Mini” products with unused liquid resin and contact the Company for instructions on how to return the recalled products for a replacement or refund.

Affected products

The recalled products are units of Miniverse Make It Mini sets with unused liquid resins. These sets include “Make It Mini Appliances", all models and series of "Make It Mini Food", and "Make It Mini Lifestyle".

Most sets consist of a sphere which contains the materials required to assemble the intended miniature imitation "appliance", "food", or "lifestyle" items. The sets packaged in spheres could also be sold as bundles with multiple units. The "Kitchen", "Multipack", "All You Can Eat", "Ice Cream Social", "Pizza Party" sets come in dedicated boxes with similar labeling without spheres. Products that are already assembled pose no hazard and should not be returned.

As of June 21, 2024, MGA is aware of 1 report of skin allergy in Canada. In the United States, the company has received 26 reports including 7 reports of skin irritation and one report of asthma.
