About 70,000 copies of the two titles being recalled were sold.
Written by Lucy Bennett.
Two children's books are being recalled because a detached metal bar can expose a sharp edge posing a laceration hazard, according to arelease from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Hachette Book Group is recalling “Count my Kisses, 1, 2, 3” and “Red, Green, Blue, I Love You.”The books include a metal rod holding small beads on the cover of books. The rod can detach and release small parts that present a choking hazard, according the CPCS, and the detached bar can pose a laceration hazard.
About 70,000 copies of the books were sold at Barnes & Noble,Amazon.com and other retailers from June to August 2013 for about $8.
If you bought the book, you can return it to Hachette Book Groupfor a full refund. Call (888) 965-5802 between 8 a.m.to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
