Michaels Stores Recalling Spin Art Kits due to Potential Burn Hazards.

The well-known craft store, Michaels, has recalled 110,000 of their spin art kits due to a potential burn hazard.

The kit includes a battery operated spinning circle where users then squirt paint on it to make a colorful design.

The recall has been issued after the company received two reports of the kits overheating.  The battery compartments can overheat causing burning injuries or a fire.  No injuries have been reported at this time.

How to know if your kit has been recalled.

The recalled spin art kits were sold under Michaels brand “Creatology@” from August 2011- February 2018 for around $25.00 at Michaels stores and online. The recalled kits are blue and have a SKU number of 197861. The affected UPC codes are as follows: 197861 042409093252, 042409930601, 042409093115, 042409093061, 042409931141, 069545093113 and 400100663486.

If your spin art kit has been affected by the recall, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) urges you to discontinue using the kit and to contact a Michaels store for a full refund.
