224,100 Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem jewelry-making kits are being recalled by LaRose Industries due to resin containing a hazardous level of acrylate, according to the recall issued.

The resin, when in liquid state, can lead to skin, eye, and respiratory irritation or sensitization upon contact through inhalation, skin exposure, or ingestion, as it contains an excessive amount of hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA), as stated in the recall notice.

The amount in the product outweighs what is allowed in children’s products under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

As part of the recall, ten variations of the Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem kits and one refill pack are affected. These jewelry-making kits consist of a resin bottle, a UV setting light, and are packaged in boxes bearing the “Cra-Z-Art” brand name alongside “Gemex” or “crazy gel2gem” labels.

The impacted UPC codes, which are printed on the bottom of the boxes, can be found here.

The kits were sold at Target, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx and Joann stores, and online at Amazon, Target, Walmart and Joann from January 2023 through September 2024 for $13 to $36.

The resin is only hazardous if it isn’t fully cured, meaning there is liquid or liquid residue present. If that’s the case, the manufacturer says the jewelry should not be worn and should be stored away from children.

LaRose Industries said no injuries have been reported.

It is recommended that all customers with the impacted items stop using their kits immediately and contact LaRose for a full refund.
