Scouts remind tissue tissues at high lead levels

The Boy Scouts of America has released a recall of approximately 110,000 slides bearing dangerous levels of lead.

The recall, released Wednesday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the United States, details four models with "lead levels above the federal lead ban" in the colored enamel slides.

The models to recall are in red wolf, green bear, orange lion and blue Webelos. The CPSC urges consumers to look at the white labels attached to the slides with PO numbers 200228276, 20023175, 200233281 or 200236630.

Exposure to lead can have adverse health consequences and be toxic if ingested by young children, according to the CPSC.

As of Thursday, the government agency noted that there had been no incidents or injuries related to the possession of products manufactured by Strategic Orient Sourcing.

Consumers were asked to stop using the slides and return them to any Boy Scouts of America store or distributor for a free replacement.

The slides, sold for $ 6 a piece between February and August, secure the decorative bandanas that are part of Scouts' uniforms.

A Scouts' opinion released Thursday said the recall was "voluntary" and provided information on how returns could be made online.

"We have examined the entire production process in cooperation with the manufacturer, and we have identified a unique and isolated production error that we believe has caused this problem," said Boy Scouts spokesman . We review the quality controls we use to ensure the quality and safety of our products. "
