Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) report of a recall involving children's books titled "Count my kisses, 1, 2, 3" and "red, green, blue, I love you". 

A metal rod holding small beads on the cover of the books can detach and release small parts that present a choking hazard. A detached metal bar can expose a sharp edge posing a laceration hazard.
