One doesn’t normally equate the words “book” and “choking hazard”. But in this day and age where reading apparently isn’t an entertaining enough activity, books come with toys, and in this case, the toys have parts that can detach and are small enough to be swallowed.

17,000 Little Builder Children’s Board Book Sets from Dalmatian Press were sold at Wal-Mart and other retailers nationwide, as well as online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble for around nine bucks between August 2007 and February 2008. They came with a concrete mixer and dump truck, both with the aforementioned loose parts.

Consumers are being advised to rip those suckers out of your kid’s grasp immediately and return the whole set to where you bought it for a full refund or exchange. More info is available at the Dalmatian Press website.
