WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announces
the following recall in voluntary cooperation with the firm below. Consumers
should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
Name of product: Children’s Board Books with Sound Maker
Units: About 214,000
Manufacturer: DK Publishing Inc., of New York, N.Y.
Hazard: The sound maker mounted inside a plastic covering on the last

Dinosaurs, Emergency! (with a fire truck on the cover), Kitty’s
Adventure, On The Road (with a yellow Volkswagon Beetle on the cover),

raised sound button in the lower right corner, which features a sound
relevant to the title. The “DK” logo is in the lower left corner of the
books.
Sold at: Bookstores, gift stores, news stands, discount department
stores and warehouse clubs nationwide, and directly to consumers by
phone order from March 2001 through April 2004 for about $8.
