Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem Jewelry Kits

Published March 27, 2025 · Recall initiated: March 27, 2025

What's the hazard

The recalled jewelry-making 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.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the jewelry making kits immediately and contact LaRose Industries for a full refund. LaRose is contacting all known purchasers directly.
