CPSC, Disney Children's Book Group, LLC Announce Recall of Children's Book
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Disney Children's Book Group, LLC, also known as
Disney Press, of New York, N.Y., is voluntarily recalling about 5,180
Zowie's 123 children's books. The books have a plastic abacus-like toy
attached to the back cover that contains five plastic beads. The beads
can separate from the book cover, posing a choking hazard to young
children.
Disney-Press has received one report of a 15-month-old boy who
broke a bead from the book cover and placed it in his mouth. An adult
was able to remove the bead from the child's mouth without injury.
The Zowie's 123 book is a twelve page white board book that
measures 6.5-inches by 6.5-inches with a yellow plastic abacus-like toy
attached to the back book cover. The abacus toy has five small beads:
blue, green, red, yellow and orange. The beads slide along a plastic
track. The book is based on the Rolie, Polie, Olie television series and
depicts the Zowie character on its cover. The book can be identified
with the ISBN code number 078683307-6, found on the back cover in the
bottom corner.
Bookstores nationwide sold the recalled books from January 2002
through February 2002 for about $7.
Consumers should immediately take these recalled books away from
young children and return the books to Disney Press for a full refund
and postage. Mail the books to Disney Press, Attn: Zowie 123, 114 Fifth
Avenue, New York, NY 10011 and use six first-class stamps per book. Be
sure to include a return address and phone number. For additional
information, contact Disney Children's Book Group, LLC toll-free at
(866) 203-8070 anytime.
