Hazard

The products present a risk of choking as the glitter varnish finish on the cover can lift and flake off, creating small parts. These small parts pose a choking hazard to children, particularly those under 36 months of age who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in their mouths. The products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Remedy

The products have been recalled from end users by Ladybird Books Limited. We recommend that owners keep these products out of reach of young children and return it to the distributor for a full refund. For more information, please access: Penguin Recall Page or contact [email protected]
