From Times Wire Reports
Toys R Us Inc. agreed to award a Chinese American infant a $25,000 prize in a New Year’s baby contest after the company came under fire for disqualifying the girl because her mother was not a legal U.S. resident. Chinese American advocates said they were infuriated by Toys R Us and launched an e-mail campaign.
The company responded by awarding each of the three babies in the grand prize pool of the “First Baby of the Year Sweepstakes” a $25,000 savings bond.
