Recall details
Description:
This recall involves Miniverse Make It Mini sets containing 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 that contains the materials needed to assemble the intended miniature imitations of “device”, “food”, or “lifestyle”. The resin packaging of each set can imitate foods such as peanut butter jar, maple syrup, milk container, etc. and the resins, once hardened, imitate food. The sphere consists of disposable packaging emblazoned with “MGA’s Miniverse” on a vibrant yellow background and “Make It Appliances” or “Make It Mini Food” in hot pink or “Make It Mini Lifestyle” in salmon pink. The packaging contains manufacturer identity information and country-specific information in different languages. The sets packaged in spheres could also be sold in the form of lots comprising several units. The “Kitchen”, “Multipack”, “All You Can Eat”, “Ice Cream Social” and “Pizza Party” sets come in dedicated boxes with similar labeling without spheres. The item number and UPC code are printed on the back of the package.
