Product description
The submitted item #62326 consists of assorted baby doll accessories in a plastic reusable bag. The accessories include a doll’s shirt and diaper, plastic keys on a ring, doll’s comb, plastic bottle, sipper cup and plastic toy bear. All the accessories are sized for use with a small baby doll less than 12” in height. The items are packaged on a blister card inside the vinyl bag. The bag measures 9 ½” high by 8 ¼” wide. It has one solid pink side and three clear plastic sides, one of which features an imprint of an animal’s face and “ears” that jut out. The bag has textile carrying handles and closes via a fabric tie threaded through two holes at the top. The bag is of a kind normally sold as a travelling bag with toiletries. It is the opinion of this office that the vinyl bag is not a toy in its own right as it is designed to store and transport goods. The container is not usual packaging for these particular toys, and upon removal of its contents, may be filled with any number of personal belongings for storage and/or transport. It is well constructed and capable of repetitive use. The bag must be classified separately. Your sample is being returned as requested.
