Mr. Van Pelt. We regret that a fault has been detected in a batch of our security blankets (blue), wherein the intended sense of security in the user may be accompanied by a heightened callousness. Symptoms may include throwing a party for your best friend and then cancelling at the last minute.
“We regret to inform you that your Blue Security Blanket was imported from China, and is suspected of carrying the Covid-19 virus. Please return it to us immediately, and quarantine your household.”
Those dang blankets and their recalls! The only reason I can think of for a true recall, not that companies would know who bought their blankets, would be flamable fabric. Child pajamas, in particular, were notorious for catching on fire with great ease, years ago.
As Lucy looks befuddled, I’d say she didn’t send the letter. Given how she tries to get rid of his blanket, and her inability to pull off such a look when she’s the reason something like this happens, she’d not look befuddled had she sent the letter.

Was that letter sent by the company or somebody trying to prank him?

Could have been worse Linus. Could have been from the Draft Board.

If it ain’t serviced with frequent washing.. it gets recalled for the factory to do it.. All part of the original warranty.

Somebody snitched on Linus for removing the “Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law” label.

My VW was recalled… nine months after I got the problem solved on my own.
