Danger! Children's Books For Little Ones Recalled

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Advantage Publishers Group, has announced the recall of three children's books. About 41,000 books are included in the voluntary recall. The news release included the following information:

• Hazard: If the clear plastic container is removed from the book’s back cover or breaks, young children can access the beads in it. This poses a choking hazard to young children.
• Incidents/Injuries: Advantage Publishers Group has received one report of a child accessing beads in the books’ clear plastic containers. No injuries have been reported.
• Description: The recalled children’s activity books are multi-colored with holes in the pages to touch a variety of fabrics and to push a squeaker toy, flaps to lift, and a clear plastic container with beads.
