Bookspan Recalls Discovery Bunny Books Due to Choking Hazard
07551 · Recalled 2007-05-17 · CPSC page
Description
This recall involves Discovery Bunny yellow cloth books. The mid-section of the yellow and white plush stuffed bunny opens to a six-page cloth book. The plush bunny has black & white checkered ears and feet. The "SoftPlay" logo is printed on a tag sewn into the bunny toy.
Hazards
The seam on the bunny's left hind leg can open, exposing a plastic squeaker toy contained inside a cloth bag, posing a choking hazard to young children.
Reported injuries
Bookspan has received one report of a 4-month-old infant who began to choke on the plastic squeaker. The parent noticed the infant beginning to choke and cleared the squeaker from his throat.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately take the recalled bunny books from children and either discard them or return them to Bookspan. Consumers will receive a full credit on their book club account. Bookspan has directly notified purchasers of the product recall by mail.
