Hazard

The felt ears and limbs on the pop-up characters can detach or come apart when pulled, which may pose a choking hazard to young children.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately clip off the felt ears and limbs of the pop-up characters and place them out of a child's reach. Simon and Schuster will provide consumers with information on how to return the felt pieces or the copyright tag from the book to receive a free replacement book.

Incidents & injuries

Simon & Schuster has received reports of two 6-month-old infants who detached felt from the pop-up parts of the book. One child was able to mouth the torn material. No injuries have been reported.
