Boy Scouts neckerchief sliders recalled due to high levels of lead

Nearly 110,000 neckerchief sliders, produced by the Boy Scouts of America, have been recalled over lead concerns, according to federal officials.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall saying, “The colored enamel on the neckerchief slides contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban.”

The recall includes red wolf, green bear, orange lion and blue Webelos. There are white labels on the back where you can check the purchase order number.
