Bearville Love Hugs Peace Lapel Pins Recalled

A couple of days ago on August 4, Build a Bear Workshop announced the recall of the item, Love Hugs Peace Lapel Pins. This is due to the fact that the surface paints on the lapel pin contain excessive levels of lead, which can be dangerous. Here is the official announcement by Build a Bear Workshop:

There are currently 26,500 pins in the United States and 2,200 in Canada. The pin was sold between July 2009 and October 2010, for a price of $3.50 in the United States and $4 (CAD) in Canada. The pin was manufactured in China.

All those who currently possesses the pin is recommended to stop using it and return the pin to any Build a Bear Workshop. As a refund, you will receive a $5 store coupon. Those who are unable to return the pin, please call the number in the above flyer for more information.
