Childrens books recalled safety hazard

Health Canada has recalled certain Children's Board Book Sets.

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."

What is the danger?

The plastic snaps that hold the boxes closed can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.

What should I do?

Cut off the lid with the snaps and throw away the rest of the box. Send the lid to Tri-State, c/o Anthony Armetta, 325 Rabro Drive, Hauppauge, NY 11788 for a free replacement book. Toll-free: 1-800-805-8534 or for more information visit Random House website

These books were sold in Canada from August 2002 through January 2003. If you find these book sets in a garage or church sale then do deal with getting rid of the box.

The manufacturer is Random House, Inc.
