Abstract
A recipient verification system including a strap, a pocket, a tether, and a label strip. The strap is configured for placement about a wearer's appendage (e.g., wrist, ankle, etc.). The pocket is coupled to the strap and forms an interior region that is exteriorly accessible via an open end. A portion of the tether is permanently captured at the pocket. The label strip is attached to the tether. The tether and the attached label strip are repeatedly transitionable between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the tether and at least a majority of the label strip is within the pocket, and thus protected. In the second state, at least a majority of the label strip is outside of the interior region of the pocket, and available for use by a user.
