This recall involves blue and red toy maracas with yellow handles. The maracas were used by Tupperware representatives during sales presentations. Cut-outs in the shape of stars, squares and other geometric figures are located inside the maraca.

The recalled toys were sold by Tupperware's Holiday 2007 and Spring 2008 product catalogs from September 2007 through April 2008 for between $5.50 and $11.

The maracas can break and expose small parts, posing a choking hazard to your baby. In addition, the handle poses a suffocation hazard.

Tupperware has received two reports of maracas breaking. No injuries have been reported.

The voluntarily recalled baby products consist of 44,000 units.

Stop using the maracas and return them to Tupperware for a refund or gift certificate.

For additional information, contact Tupperware at (888) 887-9273 between 8:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
