Candlewick
Press of Cambridge, Mass., is recalling about 78,670 "Bunny My Honey"
children's board books printed in Italy. The plastic lamination on the board
book may peel off, posing a choking hazard for young children.
The board books have thick,
cardboard-like pages covered with a thin plastic laminate. The title
"Bunny My Honey" is printed on the front cover of the books. Only books
with "Printed in Italy" on the back cover are included in this
recall. Books printed in Mexico are not included in this recall. Bookstores,
children's specialty stores and gift shops nationwide sold these books from
December 2000 through September 2001 for about $7.
Consumers should take the recalled "Bunny My Honey" board books
away from young children immediately and discard them. Consumers can visit the
firm's web site at http://www.candlewick.com/about_bmh_recall.asp
to receive a free replacement book or contact Candlewick Press at (800)
883-0009 (or in the 617 and 781 area codes at (617) 661-3330) between 9 a.m.
