Don’t call them Onesies
October 11, 2009
This is not a onesie!
Onesies(TM) are actually a trademarked name of the Gerber company’s bodysuit for infants. We always thought a onesie was like a t-shirt, simply a common name for a piece of clothing, like pants or socks or jeans. (Or maybe like some people say kleenex, when they mean tissue).
Several children’s clothing companies have been notified by Gerber to remove/change any reference to Onesie or onesie on their websites if those items are not Gerber brand Onesies (TM). We will gladly do the same.
Our Harrisons Halloween 100% Cotton Adorable Spooky Baby Halloween Costumes will no longer be described as including a onesie — instead they include a ONE PIECE BODYSHIRT.
Sorry Gerber! We never meant to use a word that does not belong to us! We think we have corrected every usage of that term on our website and our blogs. If we’ve missed any, it was unintentional and in error — we’ve looked and reviewed, and honestly think we corrected all references… If not, we hope our readers will point them out to us, with our thanks.
We love Gerber products and the famous ONESIE! We just happen to sell our own brand which will no longer use that term, and apologize for our misunderstanding of that terminology.
