What is the issue? 

As a precautionary measure, Ladybird are voluntarily recalling copies from specific printings of the above Peppa Pig and Hey Duggee books due to the discovery of a manufacturing fault where the glitter varnish finish on the cover of the books is lifting and can be peeled off. Small flakes of glitter varnish could be a choking hazard to small children. The issue relates to a limited number of printings dating from 2020 and 2021 which were manufactured at a specific printer in the UK.   

You can find the unique print number on the copyright page inside each book.  An example is below.  There will also be a reference to the book having been printed in Great Britain, which can be found on the copyright page and is written as: ‘Printed in Great Britain’ or ‘Printed in the United Kingdom’.  

What you need to do

If you have a copy from any of the printings listed above please take the book away from small children and return it to the retailer you bought it from for a full refund (there is no need to produce a receipt). No other printings of the titles included in this product recall or any other titles are affected by this issue.  

Contact details

Please contact Ladybird customer services via email: customersupport@penguinrandomhouse.co.uk if you need further clarification.  

The safety of our readers is our top priority and we apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause you.
