Carters tag causing rashes

Ughhh!!  DS has the most sensitive skin ever and when I saw this on the news this morning I couldn't believe it!  No wonder DS scratches his neck till it bleeds sometimes!  I'll be getting rid of all those outfits now!

Re: Carters tag causing rashes

  • Oh yeah...it's only the tags with the solid square backgrounds from the Fall 2007 line!!  The news this morning made it look like ALL the iron on tags.  Just FYI before you start tossing!  :)

  • I think Carters will take things back and exchange them for you.... you might call first or go look at Carters' website.  I heard about this a few months ago actually... and I swear Carters was doing something about it.

  • Yeah they're not recalling them but at the bottom of Carters statement (https://www.carters.com/corporate/tagless_message.aspx) is says...

    What do I do if I?m not satisfied with my Carter?s clothing?
    As is our standard policy, customers may return any item that they are not satisfied with for a full refund. Our Consumer Affairs staff can be reached at 1-888-282-4674 or by email at contactus@carters.com, and will help with that return. 

    I might have to call.  I JUST ripped the tags off and washed a whole pack of long sleeved onsies for him!  

  • I read about this on Zrecs last night too. Hopefully your little guys neck will heal up once you get rid of them! Poor guy.
