Have eco-friendly labels reduced infant skin rashes?
After a period of silence, we have been getting some new reports from readers of Carter’s brand infant and toddler clothing causing skin rashes in an echo of the issue we reported on a year ago. The series of investigative posts by Z Recommends culminated in an advisory issued by Carter’s and the CPSC, the widespread return of Fall 2008 and earlier Carter’s clothing to the company for reimbursement, and an interview with Carter’s CEO. Ultimately, Carter’s promised consumers that for their Spring 2009 line they were switching from one type of inked label to another, and the new one would be an “Eco” label that uses water-based inks and has “no harmful substances” (label-maker Avery Dennison’s words); more critically, it conforms to Öko-Tex 100 standards for infant skin contact. They are free of Azo dyes, formaldehyde, heavy metals and vinyl (PVC) products. But then, over the last few weeks, we started hearing from consumers whose children were experiencing the same kinds of painful rash
