The books were sold through major retailers, including Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and Sam’s Club. They were sold individually for about $10 and a book box that included four books for $21.
About 260,000 were sold in the U.S. for $10, and $21 for the book box. Another 12,900 were sold in Canada.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says Make Believe Ideas is offering owners of the Rainbow Road books a refund in the form of a gift card with instructions on how to dispose of the books.
