September 2018 Boy Scout Neckerchief Slide Recall, Leaded Enamel

Q&A

Q1: How can I tell if my neckerchief slide is affected by the recall?
A1: This recall involves the following PO numbers of Lion, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos neckerchief slides sold between February 2018 and August 2018. The PO numbers are listed on a tag attached to the back of the slide. No other PO or Lot numbers are involved in this recall.

Q2: Are any Tiger neckerchief slides or other styles/models involved in this recall
A2:  No. The only styles or models of neckerchief slides involved in this recall are Lion, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos.

Q3:  What is the problem with the neckerchief slides?
A3: The paint on the surface of the colored portion of some neckerchief slides may contain levels of lead above limits set by the federal government. The paint, which has a baked enamel coating, may pose a lead exposure risk, though we believe the risk is low. We believe that only certain batches of neckerchief slides, identified by the P.O. numbers below, are affected.
