CUB SCOUT ACTIVITY PIN

(Undated) – The Boy Scouts of America are recalling their Cub Scout Activity pin due to violation of the federal lead content.

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 merchandise credit.

You can contact the Boy Scouts of America at 800-323-0736 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.scoutshop.org and click on “Product Recall” at the bottom of the page for more information.
