, where kids may interchange their stuff, or in case of loss. A mother, whose child once suffered from anaphylactic shock took the idea one step further: tags which additionally indicate the wearer's allergies.

In case of emergency, anybody-- a caregiver or any other adult in the vicinity, for example-- can simply peek inside the shirt and check the label. See how it works here.Pretty simple solution. But it can save lives.
From a consumer's point of view, though, it would have been better if the tags were removeable and can be placed in other shirts. As it is, one is obliged to buy a kit : the shirt, plus a Med Pouch with blank Emergency Action Plan and Consent to Treat forms, a door hanger, a poster, and a fabric pen. And there are not a lot of choices of shirts.
For more information, see CheckMyTag. They also provide flyers upon request.
