Boy Scouts who planned on wearing a “Red Wolf” and other neckerchief sliders will have to wait due to the product being more akin to “Lead Wolf” sliders.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released a recall notice on Wednesday regarding the products, roughly 110,000, which were made in China.
“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled neckerchief slides, take them away from children and return them to any Boy Scouts of America retail store or distributor for a free replacement neckerchief slide, including shipping,” the agency said in a statement.
Other products on the recall include ’Green Bear,’ ’Orange Lion’ and ’Blue Webelos.’
Boy Scouts of America released a statement saying that it has “identified an isolated, one-time production error which we believe caused this problem. That error has been corrected. We are reviewing the quality controls we use to ensure the quality and safety of our products,” Fox News reported Thursday.
