W.A.T.C.H. OUT! Children’s books have traditionally provided hours of safe entertainment for young minds, however potentially deadly hazards may be found even in these educational products. This colorful book, depicting the famed character “Curious George” on its cover, is marketed for newborn babies as their “first book of numbers”. A 6 1/2” long metal rod holding five wooden beads is imbedded in between the cardboard-like pages, to serve as a “rattle” and a “counting device for babies of different ages.” The rod and beads have the potential to dislodge, posing a potentially serious risk of ingestion and choking injuries.
