Irish company recalls children’s books due to ‘choking’ concerns

AN IRISH company is carrying out a recall for a series of children’s books due to safety concerns.

TJX Ireland Unlimited Company t/a TK Maxx and Homesense is carrying out a recall on the Rainbow Road Book Series.

According to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), the products present a risk of choking.

“The binding on the products can become loose and can give access to small parts. A child can put the small parts in their mouth and swallow. This could result in choking,” indicated CCPC.

The book titles impacted are Dinosaur’s First Words, Unicorn’s Colours, Animal Counting, Things That Go, Where’s My Bottom?, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly and Old MacDonald Had a Farm.

Approximately 216 products are in the Republic of Ireland. The affected products were sold in stores between March 2023 and August 2023.
