Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Make Believe Ideas has recalled approximately 260,000 Rainbow Road Series Board Books because the plastic binding rings can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. The recall involves seven individual book titles and a book box set sold at Target, Barnes & Noble, Sam's Club, Amazon.com, and school book fairs from March 2022 through August 2023. Make Believe Ideas has received three reports of the rings detaching, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the books immediately and register online for a refund in the form of a gift card.
