2026-05-20 – A chemical hazard incident involving a children's toy set has been reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) through its SaferProducts.gov database. The Mini Verse 431664 playset, manufactured by MGA Entertainment Inc., was purchased at BJ's Wholesale Club and allegedly exposed a child and parent to uncured resin, causing skin irritation. The CPSC report, filed on April 26, 2026, identifies the defect as a Warning Defect, indicating insufficient labeling regarding the presence of resin. Product DetailsBrand Name: Mini Verse Incident OverviewOn April 26, 2026, a consumer purchased a Mini Verse Make it Spring playset from BJ's Wholesale Club for their 7-year-old child. The consumer was familiar with similar toy sets that typically contain miniature grocery items. However, this particular set, also labeled online as Multipack Resin Play, included multiple miniature bottles of resin intended to be poured into a miniature vase and other items to simulate water. The packaging indicated the presence of resin in small white letters on the lower front, but the consumer did not notice this until after the incident. Shortly after the child opened the package and began playing, she complained about a clear sticky substance from one of the miniature bottles. The consumer then discovered the set contained resin bottles. Both the child and the consumer had sticky hands and fingers, accompanied by a slight burning sensation from the liquid. The consumer returned the set to the store and reported the incident to the CPSC. The incident report, available on SaferProducts.gov (Report ID 6022715), highlights a Warning Defect, meaning the product's labeling failed to adequately warn about the presence of uncured resin and its potential hazards. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: Uncured resin can cause skin irritation and a burning sensation upon contact, as reported in this incident. The liquid resin may also adhere to skin, making it difficult to remove and prolonging exposure. In this case, the child and parent experienced sticky hands and a slight burning sensation, indicating a mild chemical reaction. Long-Term Risks: Repeated or prolonged skin contact with uncured resin can lead to sensitization, where the immune system becomes allergic to the chemical. Once sensitized, even minimal future exposure may trigger more severe reactions, such as contact dermatitis, rashes, or blistering. Children are particularly vulnerable due to their thinner skin and developing immune systems. Who Might Be Affected: The primary users of this toy—children—are at risk, as they may not recognize the hazard and may handle the resin without supervision. Bystanders, such as parents or siblings, who assist with play or clean up spills, can also be exposed. In this incident, both the child and the parent were affected. Warning Signs: Symptoms of resin exposure include sticky or tacky residue on skin, a burning or tingling sensation, redness, and itching. If the resin is not promptly washed off with soap and water, the irritation may worsen. The presence of a strong chemical odor may also indicate uncured resin. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Discontinue use of the Mini Verse 431664 playset if it contains resin bottles. Do not allow children to handle any uncured resin. Wash Affected Areas: If skin contact occurs, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals, which may worsen irritation. Preserve the Product: Keep the product, packaging, and any remaining resin bottles in a safe place. These items may serve as evidence if you decide to report the incident or seek legal advice. Document the Incident: Take photographs of the product, packaging, and any skin reactions. Write down the date, time, and details of the exposure, as well as any symptoms experienced. Seek Medical Attention: If skin irritation persists, worsens, or if symptoms such as difficulty breathing or swelling occur, seek medical evaluation. Inform the healthcare provider about the resin exposure.
