The Boy Scouts of America have recalled a plastic totem badge that is usually given to Cub Scouts who are usually between the ages of 7 and 8, due to high levels of lead in the paint. The badge has a yellow and blue border, includes a picture of a bear and wolf and reads "Progress Toward Ranks" Please check to see that your Cub Scout does not own one of these badges.

I don't believe this was common knowledge - info has been passed along to the Wolf Leader - Thank you Grace2u :!:

For additional info, please review MSNBC report :

The Boy Scouts of America said Thursday that a painted, plastic badge commonly worn by some of its youngest scouts is being voluntary recalled after a test revealed high levels of lead in the paint.

As many as 1.6 million of the badges, which are made in China, may be affected by the recall.

"We're doing everything we can," Boy Scouts spokesman Gregg Shields said.
