North American toy design and manufacturing company, Battat, is recalling close to 100,000 Toulouse-LapTrec magnetic sketch boards in the U.S. and 4,300 in Canada.

The magnetic tip of the drawing pen can dislodge from the pen, posing a choking hazard. The company has received 19 reports of this occurrence. No injuries have been reported.

The board has a white plastic writing surface bordered by either a red or brown plastic frame with four animal shapes across the top. The sketch boards were sold at Target and Barnes & Noble stores nationwide and by various online retailers from March 2010 to March 2011. They were made in China.
