(Reuters) – Target Corp said on Thursday it has recalled about 204,000 Pillowfort weighted blankets for children after receiving reports of two fatalities.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said 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 in April 2022.
Target did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for further comment.
