Product Description

The "Amazing Baby Look and Play" activity book has a yellow star on the cover. The "Amazing Baby Touch and Play" book has a brown bear on the cover. The activity books measure about 11 inches by 11 inches, and are for children ages 12 months to 24 months. The recalled "Rattle, Rattle" board book has a magenta car on the cover. The board book measures about 5½ inches by 5½ inches, and is intended for children ages 6 months to 18 months.

Reason for Recall
