The product
The recalled children's activity books are multi-colored, with holes in the pages to touch a variety of fabrics and to push a squeaker toy, flaps to lift, and a clear plastic container with beads. The "Amazing Baby Look and Play" activity book has a yellow star on the cover. The "Amazing Baby Touch and Play" book has a brown bear on the cover. The activity books measure about 11 inches by 11 inches, and are for children ages 12 months to 24 months. The recalled "Rattle, Rattle" board book has a magenta car on the cover. The board book measures about 5½ inches by 5½ inches, and is intended for children ages 6 months to 18 months.

Consumers should immediately take these recalled activity and board books away from young children and contact the company for a replacement book.
