My Granddaughter has had two small rash patches on the top of her back and we have been trying to figure out what they are from. I just looked at some of the clothes my daughter has here for her and several of the items are from Carter’s and they are tagless. I think we may have found the problem! Thank you.

I read about these rashes and thought it only occured in young childrens clothes but recently I purchased some IZOD shirts for my grandson (catholic school) and after wearing he broke out. I washed the shirts before wear but now he is constantly complaining about the rash. What can we do to prevent this?

Is cutting tags out really too much work for people now-a-days?

This one takes the cake. I never heard of this! A lot of my clothes are tag-free (workout clothes, form fitting shirts and Ts, etc). Thank you bringing this to our attention.

Update: ZRecs has reported that Carter’s tagless lables were/are made with phthalates and they think the problems with thier labels was isolated to one season.

Katie, I am unsure what it is. The companies have been secretive thus far about what is in these tags.

Amber, I have never much paid attention to the tagles sissue before now so I am unsur eif organic clothing companies have tagless options. None of my kids clothes do, to my knowledge.

Asithi, it is hard to avoid them. Bt as ling as your kids don’t react to them it may be somehting you don’t need to worry about…until we can find out for sure if there are plasticizers in the tags.

This is scary! I’ve gone completely tagless on everyday, even my underwear. I think it is now hard to find certain items with a tag in them.

So does organic tagless clothing use the same ink? Is there such a thing as organic tagless clothing?

is this really a chemical burn, or an allergy to latex or something in the tagless tag? we have some carters and old navy tagless things for ds and i have some also.. we have never had a problem, does this mean we should avoid them also? seems like an allergy to me..
