Boy Scouts of America is recalling about 78,000 Cub Scout outdoor activity pins because the pin's face and shaft contain lead levels that exceed the federal lead content ban. These rhomboid-shaped pins are silver with a gold animal paw on a blue background and were sold between April 2016 and January 2020 for approximately $1. Consumers should immediately take the pins away from children and return them for a full refund or merchandise credit. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
The pin's face and shaft contain toxic levels of lead that exceed federal limits. Lead is a hazardous substance that can cause serious adverse health issues in young children if it is ingested or handled.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled pin away from children and return the pin to any Boy Scouts of America retail store or contact Boy Scout of America's National Distribution Center for a full refund, including shipping, or for a merchandise credit.
