My Thoughts

If you've recently received or purchased a YourHealthToolkit children’s weighted blanket, especially through a donation, please be aware of a crucial recall notice. These blankets pose a potential asphyxiation hazard for young children. As these items are often donated, it's vital to spread the word within your community, friends, and family to ensure the safety of our little ones. Before using any donated item, always check for recall notices to prioritize safety. Share this information widely to protect our children.
