Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
HarperCollins Publishers is voluntarily recalling approximately 46,500 copies of the children's book "Christmas in the Manger" by Nola Buck and Felicia Bond. The book, intended for small children and depicting the nativity story with textured surfaces, contains three colored plastic artificial jewels pasted on the page showing the Three Wise Men. These jewels may separate during use and present a choking hazard, as they are small parts that could potentially be inhaled by a child. The publisher reported the recall after learning of two instances where the jewels became detached, though neither HarperCollins nor the CPSC is aware of any injuries. The books were sold at retailers including Walden Books and Barnes and Noble nationwide from September through November 15, 1994, for approximately $9.95.
Affected consumers should immediately take the book away from young children and return it to the store where it was purchased for a refund of the purchase price. For additional information about the recall, consumers may contact HarperCollins at (800) 538-8856 or the CPSC at (800) 638-CPSC.
