CPSC, Advantage Publishers Group Announce Recall of Children's Activity Books

Reported: November 7, 2003 Initiated: November 7, 2003 #04029

Product Description

The "Amazing Baby™ Listen and Play" book has a multi-colored cover with a baby face on the front and is an interactive book designed to allow children ages 12 to 24 months to learn about different sounds, images, and materials. The cover also shows a yellow bird that makes a squeak noise when pressed, and a clear plastic container of multicolored beads. Mounted onto the inside back cover is a small rotating plastic wheel with finger indentations, which makes a "clacking" sound when turned.

Reason for Recall

The hub of the pink dial embedded in the inside back cover can come off during use in some of these books, posing a choking hazard to young children.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately take these books away from young children and call Advantage Publishers Group to order a replacement activity book without the dial.
