Plain-English summary

Dalmatian Press LLC is recalling Little Builder Children's Board Book Sets with ISBN 1-49373-215-9. The sets include four concept board books and two toy trucks (a dump truck and a concrete mixer truck). The recall involves about 17,000 units manufactured in Hong Kong.

The recall was issued because the cylinder on the toy concrete mixer and the tailgate on the toy dump truck can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. No injuries have been reported.

The products were sold at Wal-Mart, Levy Home Entertainment, Lion Sales of NW Brunswick, Farris Wholesale Outlet, Crane Book Sales, Ingram Book Co., BPDI Corp., Books A Million, and Christmas Tree Shop stores nationwide, as well as online at Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com, from August 2007 through February 2008 for about $9. Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys from young children and return the entire book set to the retailer where purchased for a refund or exchange.
