Cub Activity Pin Voluntary Recall
The Boy Scouts of America today announced a
voluntary recall
of Cub Scout Outdoor Activity pins that depict a gold animal paw painted on a blue background sold between April 2016 and January 2020.
The pins were sold at local Scout Shops, authorized BSA distributors and online at
scoutshop.org
. About 78,000 pins are affected although about 12% of the affected units are in inventory and have never been sold or distributed.
No injuries have been reported as a result of the affected pins, and the BSA has identified and fixed the problem that led to the recall. The recall was prompted when a regular quality assurance the BSA implements through a third-party testing lab indicated that parts of the pin’s face and shaft contained levels of lead above limits set by the federal government.
