Join MARS in Protecting Our Children from Unsafe Reusable Solutions

Advocating for Safe and Healthy School Environments

At Mothers Against Reusable Solutions (MARS), we believe every child deserves a safe and healthy learning environment. Reusable solutions like Yondr Pouches might seem practical, but they come with hidden dangers—spreading allergens and germs, restricting emergency communication, and offering a false sense of security. Together, we can advocate for better alternatives and protect our children.

Yondr Pouches Are A Bad Idea and Dangerous

Our Mission

At MARS, our mission is to advocate for safer alternatives to reusable solutions that may compromise:

Why We're Concerned

Why We're Concerned

Allergen Exposure

Reusing pouches without proper sanitation can expose students to allergens like peanuts, eggs, and other substances, posing serious health risks.

Drug Exposure

Reusable Yondr pouches can inadvertently expose children to dangerous substances like fentanyl, as these pouches are shared among students without thorough cleaning protocols. Trace amounts of drugs left inside could pose serious health risks, especially given the potency of fentanyl, where even minimal exposure can be life-threatening.

Germ Transmission

In the wake of global health concerns, the potential for germ spread through shared items is higher than ever.

Emergency Access

In situations like school emergencies or personal crises, immediate access to communication is crucial.

Ineffectiveness

The pouches can be easily opened with inexpensive magnets, questioning the reliability of this solution.
