The maker of glitter phone cases has recalled several of them, amid concerns of burns if the liquid comes into contact with skin.

MixBin Electronics is recalling certain styles of cases that fit the iPhone.

They contain liquid and glitter that is floating in the plastic case.

The company says the cases are being recalled due to the risk of "skin irritation, blisters or burns" if the liquid in the case leaks and comes into contact with the skin due to breakage or cracking.

While the recall mainly affects the US, Canada and Mexico the cases were also sold online.

The affected cases, which were manufactured in China, were sold on Amazon.com, GetMixBin.com and on victoriassecret.com.

Those who think they might have an affected case are asked to seek a reimbursement through the company's website.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission says there have been 24 reports worldwide of skin irritation or chemical burns.
