Carter's Clothing

I don't know if everyone has seen the news article about certain tagless labels on Carter's clothing causing rashes in some children, but it turns out that Penny is one of them. Some of her newborn size clothes had those labels and some days she would get this bright red spot on her neck. I thought I was somehow rubbing her neck raw by the way I was carrying her. I couldn't figure out though why it would be there some days and not others. Sometimes it looked more rash like so I thought maybe it was a heat rash (it was August after all) and that's why it would come and go. Also, it would go away when I washed her face and neck off adding further support to my heat rash theory. But, once I found out about the labels causing rashes, I am pretty sure that is what was going on. She'd have it the days she wore those clothes and not on the days she wore clothes of another brand - and of course it would go away when I washed her off. So anyway, I wrote the company because I have several items of clothing in the 3-6 months size that she is about to start wearing. They are going to send me a postage-paid envelope to mail everything back and get a full refund. I'm glad they are doing that, but also upset when I think about her having that allergic reaction and the whole time I thought it was something I was doing to her. :(
