The recalled toy violates the small parts ban because the product is for children under three years of age and the red knobs can detach, posing a deadly choking hazard.

Consumers should take the recalled toy away from children, stop using it immediately and contact Esjay for instructions on the repair. Consumers will be asked to unzip the page with red knobs, write “RECALLED” on both sides of the page and throw it away. Send a photo of the disposed page to Esjay US at esjay-service@outlook.com to receive a replacement page. (Remedy: Repair)
