WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Simon & Schuster plush books due to a choking hazard.

About 142,000 "Monday the Bullfrog" puppets with board books were imported from China by Simon & Schuster Inc. of New York were sold nationwide from January 2006 through November 2009 for about $18.

The bullfrog puppet sold with a board book in its mouth includes eyes that can detach and possibly choke a small child, the commission said in a statement.

Consumers were advised to keep the plush frog away from children and contact Simon & Schuster for a free replacement.

Consumers can call 800-732-9531 for information.
