| Problem | This book is constructed with heavy cardboard pages and includes a triangular-shaped rattle within the spine of the book. The caps on the end of the rattle can detach releasing the rattle’s plastic pellets. If ingested, the pellets can be inhaled into the lungs, causing breathing problems, recurring pneumonia, and even lung collapse that can lead to death. In addition, the rattle caps present a choking hazard for small children. |
