The recalled sets contain resins that, when liquid, can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation or sensitization when inhaled, touched or ingested, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission . They include “Make It Mini Appliances,” “Make It Mini Food” and “Make It Mini Lifestyle” sets.

Resins included in the sets can be used to imitate items like a peanut butter jar, maple syrup or a milk container and imitates food when hardened, the CPSC said. They were included in more than three dozen sets.

Officials said MGA Entertainment, the company behind the toys, has gotten 26 reports related to the recall, including reports of skin burns and irritation and respiratory irritation. One person reported that their asthma was triggered by the resin, according to the CPSC.

The agency identified the sets being recalled by their item numbers and UPC codes, which can be found on the backside of the product wrapping. The CPSC released the following list of recalled sets:

Officials urged people who have the sets to stop using any that still have unused resins and to contact MGA for a refund or replacement.

The toys were sold at a slew of stores nationwide between October 2022 and June 2024, including Target, Walmart, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Aldi and Hobby Lobby. They were also sold online on Amazon and other sites. They cost between $7 and $52, depending on the model and whether they were packaged in a box set.

The resins that prompted the recall include chemical substances that exceed the amount allowed in products for children by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, officials said.

After the resins cure, they are longer hazardous, according to the CPSC.
