CPSC and Random House Announce Recall of Children's Book
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Con sumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Random House Inc., of New York, N.Y., is voluntarily
recalling about 39,000 copies of Monsters In The Closet children's board
books. The snap that secures the book could detach, posing a choking
hazard to young children.
CPSC and Random House have not received any reports of injuries
involving this book. This recall is being conducted to prevent the
possibility of injuries.
The board books are constructed of heavy cardboard with Monsters
Inc. cartoon characters on each page. The title "MONSTERS IN THE CLOSET"
is printed with orange letters highlighted in yellow on the front cover
of the books. The books have a hole at the top of the back cover to
allow them to hang on a door knob. The books have been printed in
English and Spanish languages. "Made in China" is printed on the back
of the book.
Book, specialty stores and online retailers sold these books
nationwide from October 2001 through January 2002 for about $8.
Consumers should cut off the snap from these books immediately and
mail the snap to: Tri-State, c/o Marie Corsello, 325 Rabro Drive,
Hauppauge, NY 11788 to receive a free replacement book valued at about
$9. For additional information, contact Random House at (800) 493-0009 \
