The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Target are announcing the recall of about 204,000 Pillowfort Weighted Blankets due to an asphyxiation hazard, which has caused two fatalities.
A 4-year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl reportedly became entrapped in the cover of the weighted blanket and died due to asphyxia at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in April 2022.

CPSC and Target, which is based in Minnesota, are urging consumers to stop using the recalled weighted blankets immediately and contact Target for a refund.
The blankets weigh 6 pounds, measure 60 inches long and 40 inches wide and have a removable, waterproof, washable cover. The blankets come in eight prints or colors including unicorn white, space navy, pink, blue, gray, buffalo plaid red, blue constellation, and unicorn pink.
