Product description
You submitted the following samples: Item #62369, Baby I’m Yours™ “Baby Bundles”, consists of an 8” plastic doll packaged inside a clear vinyl bag. The doll is wearing a pink hat and dressed in a sleeper that is wrapped in a triangular shaped fabric blanket. The doll’s torso, arms and legs are made of fabric and stuffed with polyester. The bag is cylindrical shaped with a pink fabric top and measures approximately 9 inches in height and 4-1/2 inches in diameter. The bag does not have a handle or straps and therefore appears to have little utilitarian use outside of normal packaging for the doll. Item #63043, Baby I’m Yours™ “Baby with Travel Bag”, consists of an 11” plastic doll dressed in a pink sleeper and wearing a pink hat packaged with various toys inside a carrying bag with adjustable shoulder strap and drawstring top. The toys include 1 bottle, 1 sipper cup, 1 juice box, 1 baby food jar, 1 diaper wipes container, 1 bear, 1 elephant, and 1 rattle, all made of plastic. The carrying bag is wholly made of plastic sheeting and is of the kind similar to a travel/toiletry bag designed to contain personal effects during travel and, therefore, will be classified separately from the doll and toys. Item #63235, Baby I’m Yours™ “Baby Sisters Travel Set”, consists of three 7” plastic dolls dressed in fabric sleepers and hats packaged with various toys inside a zippered carrying bag with a handle on top. The toys include 1 plastic wet wipe container, 2 plastic baby food jars, 3 cardboard boxes of fake food, and 1 plastic elephant. The carrying bag is wholly made of plastic sheeting and is of the kind similar to a travel/toiletry bag designed to contain personal effects during travel and, therefore, will be classified separately from the doll and toys.
