Hachette Book Recall : Metal rod holding small beads on the cover can detach

Hachette Book Group recalls 70,000 “Count my Kisses, 1, 2, 3” and “ReNo injuries have been reported. For more information, go the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Websited, Green, Blue, I Love You” books in the U.S. and Canada because they pose choking and laceration hazards. A metal rod holding small beads on the cover of books can detach and release small parts that present a choking hazard. A detached metal bar can expose a sharp edge posing a laceration hazard.

Red, Green, Blue, I Love You, ISBN: 978-0-316-13353-1, has five colored circular wooden beads on the metal rod.

The books were sold at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, and other booksellers and retailers from June 2013 to August 2013 for about $8. Consumers can return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
