The blog Zrecommends.com is the place to visit for the latest information on health issues and our children. They are great about taking big companies to task too. Back in mid-September they reported on the ‘tagless’ labels on Carter’s clothes that are causing everything from excema-like rashes to reactions that look like chemical burns. They now have the most recent update about the issue and a statement from Carter’s. Apparently the tagless labels have phalates in them. Yes, phalates.
For complete information about the issue, where to get your money refunded and the Carter’s stance, visit Zrecommends.com.
Keep in mind this from Zrecs: “The reaction is not confined to clothing produced by Carter’s, but has been experienced by infants wearing tagless apparel by Baby Gap, Circo, and other brands”

If you know for sure that is was caused by the solvents I would love to know! thanks for commenting.
According to Cleveland, Carter’s labels do not contain formaldehyde, but might contain phthalates, which are common in tagless apparel applications. Their labels undergo frequent redesigns and their Fall 2007 line had a full-screen label that used an estimated 300% of the plastisol ink used in previous or subsequent collections, which may account for the skin reactions, as the formulation of their tags has not changed in that time. The company is working to get us information for publication regarding the presence of phthalates in these labels and, if present, which phthalates are being used. The company is accepting clothing for refund and requests reports be directed to them as they further investigate the problem.
Carters does not use any phthalates, PVC, heavy metals, formaldehyde, or Azo Dyes. This rash is caused by trace amounts of solvents from improperly cured inks before the labels were applied to the fabric.
