Children's books recalled due to choking hazard
About 260,000 books designed for young children are being recalled because they could pose a choking hazard.
Rainbow Road Series Board Books with classic titles like "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" and "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" are among those being recalled. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the plastic binding rings can detach from the books and could be swallowed.
The colorful, recalled books all have felt on them for babies to touch.
