Abstract

A combination garment hanger that is equipped for accommodating a child-proof size-indicating tab and a tool for removing said child-proof size-indicating tab from the said garment hanger is provided. The improved system enables an assembly-line worker to quickly and easily remove a child-proof tab from a garment hanger when a tab indicating the incorrect size is mistakenly applied to a garment hanger. The tool quickly and easily pries the tab off of the garment hanger so that a correct size-indicating tab may be applied to the hanger. The tab-holding section of the garment hanger is specially designed to accommodate the tool without compromising the child-proof qualities of the hanger and tab.
