Sterling Publishing is recalling about 15,000 eebee's "Have a Ball" cloth books. A string attaching a ball to the book can become entangled in the basketball hoop element, posing a strangulation hazard to young children.
This recall involves the eebees Have a Ball Adventure cloth book. This interactive activity book has a small cloth ball attached to a string which children use to complete activities in the book. The books are intended for children ages 9 to 36 months. ISBN 13:978-1-4027-5771-6 is located on a white tag attached to the book. Other eebees Adventures cloth books are not included in this recall.
The books, made in China, were sold at book and toy stores nationwide and Internet retailers from June 2008 through June 2009 for about $15.
Consumers should immediately take the book away from children, and return the product to the place of purchase for a refund.
