Although recently and correctly speedy deleted as a nonsense entry by an IP with an unimpressive history, this is actually IMO a suitable topic for an article. Andrewa 15:38, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Early name
Information provided for consideration by another editor: An early name of the company was "International Latex" according to a May 2006 news article: Durantine, Peter. "This suit was made for walkin'...", The News Journal, May 5, 2006, pp. E4–E5. See ILC Dover for the relationship in the 1940's between Playtex and that company.

[edit] Incentive to do business in Delaware
Information to consider including (User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)):
In 2005, Playtex Products Inc. received a four-million dollar five-year incentive grant from the state of Delaware in exchange for a thirty-four million dollar investment by the company in manufacuturing and research and development in the state and the maintenance of a workforce of at least six-hundred and thirty. This is according to: Ted Griffith. "Development director seeks $21 million", The News Journal, May 4, 2006, p. B7. Retrieved on June 6, 2006.

[edit] Possible split?
Even though this article is very short as is, I really think the tampon/infant care brand and the underwear need to be in separate articles — they are dissimilar lines (other than being purchased by women for their unique needs), made by different companies that use different logos and have different histories. I will tag it to that effect. Daniel Case 05:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. Its historically been one brand, and still is one brand but with separate and diverse products provided by two companies. Perhaps the feminine hygiene products company for which a redirect page already exists could be spilt for specific information, but the apparel and clothing line kept in the main article.
