We as parents and grandparents are always on the lookout for ways to help them tap into their interests and help further develop them. 

One popular item over the last few years has been jewelry making kits. These kits allow them to create themselves, their family and friends and maybe even start a small business. 

One of the more popular makers of these kits has just issued a recall where over 200,000 of their products have been recalled. 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports Cra-Z-Art/Gel2Gem Jewelry Kits made by LaRose Industries recalled their jewelry kits because the resin contains an ingredient that is prohibited to be used in children’s products. 

If the resin isn’t fully cured, it can be ingested which can be harmful to the users' eyes and skin and can cause respiratory issues.  

There are eleven different jewelry making kits that have been recalled;
