“Big Rex and Friends” baby books recalled due to lead hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of about 204,000 “Big Rex and Friends” cloth books. A red plastic dot sewn into these books contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by children and can cause serious health effects including brain damage.

The books are published by the Priddy Books division of St, Martin’s Press. They were sold from May 2004 until October 2009 by Toys “R” Us, Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores and toy stores nationwide. The books sold for approximately $9.00.

If you own one of these books, take it away from your children immediately. Contact St. Martins press at 1-800-347-9411 or go to their website for instructions on how to return the book for a full refund.
