IF YOU HAVE A BABY/CHILD!!!!!!

Elijah has this please read this and do research not just for your baby's but for those that really have this problem! Thanks!


This kinda looks like Elijah with the hair:) lol But it's not.


"One is a plastisol type, which is the same basic material that the large designs on the front of t-shirts is made of... the ink is a PVC blended into a phthalate... at a certain temperature the PVC melts and the 2 components form a solid... that solid is transferred to the shirt with heat and pressure... this type of ink is on the way out as phthalates are now being classified as hazardous... residual phthalate from not fully fused ink is what is most likely causing the reaction.

The other type of ink is a solventborne polyurethane that is post cured via a catalyst... typically a polyisocyanate... this ink can have 2 possible irritants... small levels of formaldehyde in the urethane or residual polyisocyanate that is left unreacted..."


So far, Carter's seems to be refunding anyone who's having an issue with the tagless shirts and onesies. If you can find them, maybe switch back to the tagged clothing and simply remove the tags yourself. That way, your child's skin is not coming into contact with the ink.

And if anyone else is having an issue with these tagless shirts, let us know. The Consumerist is also following this story, and they seem to think a lawsuit is in the works.


This is so sad! My little guy has had this since he almost new. And I just figured out that it was the tagless shirts. As weird as that is. It breaks my heart because I don't know if it's hurting him or not. But it is so nasty!!! It oozes from his back and threw his clothing. Poor Elijah:(

All you need to do is Google Carters tagless shirts and there is a lot that comes up.
Here is a blog that you might want to read also:)
