Plain-English summary
Tupperware U.S. Inc. is recalling approximately 44,000 Shape-O Toy Maracas. The recalled items are blue and red toy maracas with yellow handles that feature cut-outs in the shape of stars, squares, and other geometric figures inside. These maracas were used by Tupperware representatives during sales presentations and were sold through Tupperware's Holiday 2007 and Spring 2008 product catalogs between September 2007 and April 2008 for prices ranging from $5.50 to $11.
The recall is being issued because the maracas can break and expose small parts, which poses a choking hazard to young children. Additionally, the handle of the maraca poses a suffocation hazard to young children. Tupperware has received two reports of the maracas breaking, but no injuries have been reported.
Consumers and Tupperware sales consultants should immediately stop using the maracas. They should return the products to Tupperware for a refund or gift certificate. Return forms are available at www.tupperware.com. For additional information, consumers can contact Tupperware at (888) 887-9273 between 8:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
