CPSC, Random House, Inc. Announce Recall of Children's Board Book Sets
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Random House Inc., of New York, N.Y., is voluntarily
recalling about 360,000 children's board book sets. The book sets were
sold in cardboard boxes with plastic snaps. The plastic snaps can
detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.
CPSC and Random House have not received any reports of injuries
involving these book sets. This recall is being conducted to prevent the
possibility of injuries.
The boxed sets included in the recall have children's characters
on the front of the box, a colored plastic handle and plastic snaps.
The book set titles are "MONSTERS TO GO!," "DISNEY PRINCESS - DISNEY THE
PRINCESS COLLECTION 2," "DISNEY'S WINNIE THE POOH - A VERY MERRY
CHRISTMAS," and "BARBIE - MY BARBIE FUN BOX." Each book set contains
four board books inside. Only book sets with plastic snaps are included
in the recall. Book sets with metal snaps are not part of the recall.
Book, discount department stores and online retailers sold the
recalled books nationwide from August 2002 through January 2003 for
about $10.
Consumers should immediately cut off the lid of the box with the
plastic snaps and throw away the rest of the box. Send the lid with the
plastic snaps to Tri-State, c/o Anthony Armetta, 325 Rabro Drive,
Hauppauge, NY 11788 to receive a free replacement book set, and a refund
for postage. For additional information contact Random House at (800)
805-8534 ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's web site at
