Re: Form 8-K Item 4.01 filed May 27, 2009 - File #1-33346
Dear Mr. Gordon:
Reference is made to your letter dated May 28, 2009 (the “Letter”) relating to the selection by Summer Infant, Inc. (the “Company”) of Caturano and Company, P.C. (the “Auditor”) as the Company’s auditors. The Letter states that Caturano is not registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and therefore the Company must select another audit firm.
The Auditor changed its name from Vitale, Caturano & Co., Ltd. to Caturano and Company, P.C. on May 1, 2009. Accordingly, the Auditor filed the necessary paperwork with the PCAOB and the name of the Auditor was changed in the PCAOB’s system, however, there is a delay in this information being reflected on the PCAOB’s website. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that there is anything further that they need to address with respect to this matter.
