Hachette Book Group is recalling about 70,000 children's board books titled "Count my Kisses, 1, 2, 3" and "Red, Green, Blue, I Love You." The recall was initiated because a metal rod holding decorative beads on the book's cover can detach, releasing small parts and exposing a sharp edge. These books were sold at Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, and other retailers between June 2013 and August 2013 for approximately $8. Consumers should immediately stop using these books and return them for a full refund.
The metal rod can break away from the book's handle, releasing small beads that pose a choking hazard to young children. Additionally, the detached metal bar can have sharp edges that pose a laceration hazard.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled books away from children and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
