U.S. regulators announced that more than 224,000 children’s jewelry-making kits, including ones with Disney branding, have been recalled because they contain a hazardous amount of a liquid resin that could irritate the skin and eyes.

Ten models of the Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem were included in the recall, along with a refill pack, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in a recall notice last week. The kits contain a resin bottle and a UV light, and they come in packaging with the “Cra-Z-Art” brand name and “Gemex,” or “crazy gel2gem,” according to the notice.
