What's happened:

We are recalling Baby's first book (boys edition) Cloth Book as small parts have been found in a French and Finnish edition of the same batch, presenting a choking hazard to children under 3 years old.  The small parts are caused by the dinosaur spots coming away on the fifth page of the title due to the stitching perforating the fabric.

As we take the safety of our customers' children very seriously, we are asking you to return them to the retailer originally purchased from and to discontinue use immediately.

We have not had any complaints of this happening with the English language edition, however to ensure this does not happen we are recalling this batch from all markets.

The product affected is Batch number 90594 which was available on the market between August - December 2009.

What you should do:

To identify which products are affected the relevant Batch number can be found on the bottom of the packaging on the top line, reading JFMAMJJ SOND/09 90594
