In case of emergency, anybody-- a caregiver or any other adult in the vicinity, for example-- can simply peek inside the shirt and check the label. See how it works here.Pretty simple solution.

And there are not a lot of choices of shirts.
For more information, see CheckMyTag. They also provide flyers upon request.
