The real interesting bit here isn't the baby-clothes angle, but the assertion that "bamboo" fabric (baby clothes, socks, sheets) is just rebranded rayon, which has been around for a long time, often with a little bit of spandex blended in.

> Outside of the world of baby clothes, the Federal Trade Commission last year fined Kohl’s and Walmart $2.5 million and $3 million, respectively, over their “bogus marketing” of so-called bamboo sheets, towels, and rugs. It’s just rayon, the FTC contended, and they had to call it such.
