Incident Overview

According to the incident report filed on April 7, 2026, the consumer purchased a resin product from a Temu seller listed as "diys mall." The product was shipped in a cloth bag, which arrived damaged and leaking. When the consumer handled the bag, the resin spilled onto their hands and face, causing immediate chemical burns.

The consumer reported becoming "horribly sick" with vomiting and difficulty breathing after the exposure. The resin also ruined their clothing. The consumer contacted the seller, who refused a refund or replacement despite receiving photographs of the injuries and damaged items. The report does not indicate that the consumer sought first aid or medical attention at the time. The incident is documented under CPSC report ID 5987495 on SaferProducts.gov.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: Resin products often contain reactive chemicals such as epoxy resins or acrylic monomers that can cause chemical burns upon skin contact. The reported burns on the consumer's hands and face suggest a corrosive or irritant reaction, which can occur rapidly and may also result in respiratory distress if fumes are inhaled, as described by the consumer's breathing difficulty.

Long-Term Risks: Repeated or prolonged exposure to certain resin chemicals can lead to allergic contact dermatitis, which may become chronic. Sensitization can occur, meaning future contact with even small amounts could trigger severe reactions. The consumer's vomiting and respiratory symptoms may indicate systemic toxicity, which could have lasting health effects.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone handling the product, including the consumer, bystanders, or children who might come into contact with spilled resin. The product was sold on Temu, a platform accessible to a wide consumer base, increasing the potential for similar incidents.

Warning Signs: A damaged or leaking container is an obvious warning sign. Consumers should be alert to any unusual odors, stickiness, or visible liquid escaping from packaging. If the bag appears compromised, the product should not be handled without protective equipment.

Stop Using Immediately: If a resin product leaks or causes skin contact, stop handling it right away. Avoid inhaling fumes and move to a well-ventilated area.
