What happened

Hachette Book Group is recalling two children's board books because a metal rod embedded in the handle can detach and release small wooden beads, creating a choking hazard for young children. The detached metal bar can also expose a sharp edge that may cause cuts. The recalled titles are "Count my Kisses, 1, 2, 3" (ISBN: 978-0-316-13354-8) and "Red, Green, Blue, I Love You" (ISBN: 978-0-316-13353-1), both marked "Ages 3+" on the back cover.

Consumers who have these books should immediately remove them from children and return them to the retailer where they were purchased for a full refund.
