Summary

Michaels has recalled about 110,000 Creatology® brand Spin Art Kits because the battery compartment can overheat. This defect poses a fire and burn hazard to children, and the company has already received two reports of the battery compartments overheating. The recalled kits are blue and were sold exclusively at Michaels stores and online from August 2011 through February 2018 for about $25. Consumers should immediately stop using these kits and return them to any Michaels store to receive a full refund.

Risk
