Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem Jewelry Kits recalled due to risk of skin, eye and respiratory irritation and sensitization

Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem Jewelry Kits are being recalled because the kits contain a resin that, when liquid, can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation or sensitization when inhaled, touched or ingested.

The resin contains an acrylate (hydroxyethylmethacrylate “HEMA”) in amounts prohibited in children’s products by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Already created jewelry should be inspected to confirm it is fully cured.

If there is liquid or any liquid residue present, the jewelry should not be worn and should be stored away from children. Once cured, the resin no longer presents the hazard.

This recall involves 10 models of Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem jewelry kits and one refill pack. The recalled jewelry kits include a resin bottle and a UV setting light to cure the resin and come in rectangular boxes labeled with the “Cra-Z-Art” brand name and either “Gemex” or “crazy gel2gem.”  The following item numbers and UPC codes are printed on the bottom of the product’s box.

Target, Marshall’s, T.J. Maxx, and Joann stores, and other retailers nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Target.com, Walmart.com and Joann.com from January 2023 through September 2024 for between $13 and $36, depending on the kit.
