Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Boy Scouts of America is recalling approximately 110,000 neckerchief slides because the colored enamel contains levels of lead that exceed federal standards. The recall involves four brass styles: a red wolf, green bear, orange lion, and blue Webelos. These slides were sold at Boy Scouts of America retail stores, authorized distributors, and online at scoutshop.org from February 2018 through August 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them for a free replacement.

Risk

The colored enamel on the slides contains lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, lead exposure is a significant health risk for developing children.

  2. Verify if your slide matches one of the four affected styles: the red wolf, green bear, orange lion, or blue Webelos.
  3. Immediately stop using any recalled neckerchief slides and take them away from children.
  4. Return the affected slide to any Boy Scouts of America retail store or authorized distributor to receive a free replacement, including free shipping if applicable.
