Children’s books sold at Target, Amazon recalled over possible choking hazards
(WDKY) — A series of children’s board books have been recalled over possible choking risks. The books were sold at Target, Barnes and Noble, Sam’s Club, and Amazon.
About 260,000 books from the Rainbow Road series were recalled on Thursday due to plastic binding rings that could detach and create choking hazards for young children. Make Believe Ideas has received two reports of plastic rings detaching in the U.S. and one in Australia. No injuries have been reported.
