On March 15, 2011, Kid Brands announced that it will delay the filing of its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2010, due to matters it uncovered during its investigation into its LaJobi subsidiary.  Kid Brands stated that its investigation uncovered instances at LaJobi in which incorrect import duties were applied on certain wooden furniture imported from vendors in China, resulting in a violation of anti-dumping regulations.  As a result, the Company terminated LaJobi's President, Larry Bivona, and its Managing Director.  Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation concerns whether the officers and directors of Kid Brands issued materially inaccurate financial statements to the investing public, whether they conducted adequate due diligence into LaJobi before acquiring it, and whether they exercised appropriate oversight of LaJobi.
