Why Were The Products Recalled?
The toys are being recalled because they contain unused liquid resins, which can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. The manufacturer, MGA Entertainment, has received 26 reports of injuries, including skin burns and respiratory issues. This recall aims to prevent further harm and ensure the safety of consumers.
How to Find Out If Your Miniverse Toy Set Was Recalled
The recall affects various Miniverse Toy Sets, including “Make It Mini Appliances,” “Make It Mini Food,” and “Make It Mini Lifestyle” sets sold between October 2022 and June 2024. These products were available at major retailers like Target, Walmart, and online platforms such as Amazon.
To determine if your child’s toy is affected, look for the specific product names and packaging details mentioned in the recall. The toys usually come in brightly colored spheres or boxes labeled “Make It Mini.” If your toy matches these descriptions, it is likely part of the recall.
Miniverse Recall Steps to Take
If you have identified that your Miniverse Toy Set is part of the recall, stop using it immediately. The CPSC advises parents to cease all use of the recalled items to prevent any health risks.
If you or your child have already been exposed to the liquid resin and are experiencing symptoms such as skin burns, irritation, or respiratory issues, seek medical attention immediately. Document the symptoms and inform your healthcare provider about the acrylate exposure.
Next, contact MGA Entertainment to arrange for a refund or replacement. You can visit their website at MGAE.com to get a pre-paid label for returning the product. If the product is unopened, you should return the entire item. If it has been opened, return the unused resins and provide a photograph of the product.
