Popular baby clothing brand Kyte Baby is facing backlash after an employee's request to work remotely while her newborn was in the NICU was denied.
The employee made the request because her newborn, whom she adopted, was in the neonatal intensive care unit at a Texas hospital, according to two apology videos made by Kyte Baby founder Ying Liu.
In her apology video, Liu said she now regrets her decision.
The employee, named Marissa, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. She has been identified, but TODAY.com is withholding her last name to protect her privacy.
As customers vow to boycott, Kyte Baby said in a statement the employee "declined" its offer to return to the company, which sells infant clothing and sleep sacks made with bamboo material.
