By Hannah Benjamin Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES LONDON (Dow Jones)--Parenting and children's products retailer Mothercare PLC (MTC.LN) Thursday said it is considering selling its kids' toiletries range through a national concession, possibly in a supermarket. The firm sells own brand products like nappy cream, baby body wash and sleeptime massage lotion. "We're looking into nationally selling our toiletries. There's nothing to announce yet but it's likely to be with a supermarket and could even be a supermarket in India for example," Chief Executive Ben Gordon told Dow Jones Newswires. It follows the company's recent deal with U.K. health and beauty retailer Boots, part of Alliance Boots PLC, which is to sell a range of Mothercare's children's clothing in its stores from September. -By Hannah Benjamin, Dow Jones Newswires; 44-20-7842-9298; [email protected] (END) Dow Jones Newswires July 15, 2010 05:45 ET (09:45 GMT)
