Between August 1997 and December 2001 and 125,000 Glamour Gear Soap Making Kits were made by Rose Art and distributed nation wide. A defect in the plastic cup which is intended to safely heat the soap in the microwave, lead the formation of holes in the cup when heated.
Between January 1998 and January 2002, Rose Art received 10 reports of children who were burned by hot soap while removing the plastic cup from the microwave. The majority of the children suffered second and third degree burns. The Rose Art did not inform CPSC about the defect, injuries and the resulting civil litigation against the company until February 2002.
