An estimated 263,000 glitter iPhone cases sold by MixBin Electronics have been recalled after at least 24 reports of skin irritation and burning. The cases were made for the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 7, and they contain glitter suspended in a liquid gel that, if leaked, can seriously irritate your skin.
