Product description
The submitted sample of infant care products is identified as item #201, a small diaper bag set. The set consists of two plastic baby bottles; one 8 ounce and one 4 ounce size, a plastic feeding bowl with lid, one 8-shape teether, a plastic fork and spoon and a plastic brush and comb set. These items are packaged together in an infant’s tote bag. The tote bag is composed of plastic with printed designs. A portion of the front panel is made of clear plastic with a zipper closure. The infant’s tote bag contains a zipper closure across the top and it has a webbed carry handle. This bag also has an open pocket on each end. Since the components of the set carry out different activities to meet various needs, they do not satisfy the requirements for classification as a set. The tote bag is of a class or kind that not only can be used for transporting infant care items, but may be used to carry other articles also. Each item including the tote bag is classified separately.
