Toy R Us has agreed to honor gift cards for both Toys R Us and Babies R Us for 30 days, despite going through bankruptcy.

By law, Toys R Us is not obliged to honor gift cards as it goes through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. However, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer asked the Federal Trade Commission to work out a deal with the failing toy giant to honor the cards, WTOL reports.
