Crate and Barrel has recalled about 620 Be the Band Music Sets because the maracas included in the kit can break or become unscrewed. When the maracas come apart, they release small metal beads that pose choking and suffocation risks to young children. The set consists of a wooden table featuring drum pads, cymbals, maracas, and xylophone keys, and was sold online for about $200. Consumers should stop using the set and contact the company to receive a $20 store credit for the maracas.
The maracas can break or unscrew, releasing internal metal beads that children can swallow or inhale, leading to choking or suffocation. Crate and Barrel has received six reports of the maracas breaking or opening, though no injuries have occurred.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Be the Band Music Sets and contact Crate and Barrel for instructions on how to receive a refund in the form of a $20 store credit for the maracas. Crate and Barrel is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Intended for children ages three and up. Set includes a table (19" high x 26" wide) with drum pads, sticks, cymbals, maracas, and xylophone keys.
