Choking Hazard Prompts Recall of Gund Baby Paperboard Books
Washington, DC: Gund, the importer of Gund Baby Paperboard Books, is recalling about 15,000 books sold in the US and a further 865 sold in Canada, because the styrofoam used to fill the book binding can detach, posing a choking/aspiration hazard to infants and young children.
Gund has received three reports of children mouthing the styrofoam that detached from the books. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves three miniature children's paperboard books with plastic handles designed as baby rattles. They include "Animals" (item number 059174), "Numbers" (item number 059175) and "Colors" (item number 059176). The books were also sold as a three-book set (item number 059173). The name "Gund" and the item number are located on the back of the books. The books measure 4 1/2 inches by 7 inches.
The books were sold at gift and specialty stores nationwide from January 2009 through March 2010 for about $8 and $20 for the set.
