My son was playing with these and within a hour it had cracked and there were lots of tiny metal balls all over the room. The other one broke within a couple of days!!

This review is from: First Act DiscOvery FA222 Junior Maracas (Electronics)

I loved this product, until my 2yr old son unscrewed the maraca. I was worried he had swallowed some, because he is the type of child to put things in his mouth. The balls are made of steel. I called the company to ask them. I had a difficult time cleaning up the metal balls. There are about 30 of them in each maraca and are about a mm in size. I didn't even see them at first. I actually took the second maraca and busted it open (it took one good hit on the floor for me to open it) to see what I was looking for.
Though the steel balls are not toxic, poisin control said that I should take my son to the Dr & get him an Xray.. The doctor said if the Xray came back positive they would do a led test on him in two weeks, to make sure the balls didn't have led in them. We would also have to monitor him to make sure they passed....
I would not recomend this product for any child...

These maracas are well made, have fun colors and good sound.
I'm so glad to have discovered First Act Discovery products! Their products are terrific for their intended age group (ages 4-10). They offer a great choice of reasonably priced instruments that are 'real' instruments, not plastic toddler toys. Great way to introduce music to young children.
