In Figure 1A, which represents the association between the difference in BMI z-score at age 7 and maternal serum PBDEs (ng/lipid), the line of the upper confidence interval of Σ4PBDE for girls incorrectly crossed the zero-line: The upper interval for girls is −0.05 and should appear below the zero-line. The corrected Figure 1 appears in this erratum.

Point estimates and 95% CIs from (A) regression of maternal PBDE concentrations and anthropo-metric measurements at age 7 years, and (B) GEE model estimates of overall associations between 10-fold increases in maternal PBDE concentrations and repeated anthropometric measures (ages 2, 3.5, 5, and 7 years), with effect modification by sex, controlling for maternal age, education, prepregnancy BMI, years lived in the United States, gestational weight gain, poverty during pregnancy; and child gestational age, duration of breastfeeding, and fast food and soda consumption at age 7. pint, p-value for interaction.

The authors regret this error.
