Organic Sherpa Ducky Blankie & Book Set

The blankie half is described in real detail: double-layered organic cotton sherpa, hand-stitched embroidered features with no plastic parts, corn fiber fill, and low-impact azo-free dyes on GOTS-certified cotton. For the board book — the part a baby will chew — nothing is published about the inks or the board lamination beyond it being sturdy and sized for little hands.

Ducky's Pond is a board book rather than paper-paged, which is the right format for the newborn-to-toddler stage this set is aimed at, and it sits in the numbered Apple Park book series stocked by specialty baby retailers. The set is marketed for newborns and first storytime rather than carrying a stated age range.

The book is Ducky's Pond, a titled entry in the Apple Park series, with whimsical illustrations on gentle nature themes offered as support for early language and shared reading. Beyond the title, the content is described in general terms — no page count, no high-contrast or touch-and-feel elements, and no independent recommendation of the story.

Apple Park states that all of its toys are mandatorily tested and carry ASTM F963 and EN 71 safety certification, and meet governmental standards in the US, Australia, Canada and Europe; independent write-ups of the brand repeat the ASTM F963 testing and ICTI-certified factory production without adding checks of their own, and an international distributor states its Apple Park stock is laboratory-tested to EN 71 or ASTM standards. No Children's Product Certificate or accredited-lab report is published for this set — certificates go to retailers rather than shoppers.

The blankie's face is hand-stitched embroidery with no plastic parts, so there are no glued-on eyes or hard trims to work loose, and the wider blankie line is marketed from 0 months for newborns and infants. No age grade or small-parts wording is published for the set itself, so the age fit rests on the construction and the newborn marketing.

We queried the full CPSC recall corpus — 9,944 records spanning from 1973 to August 2026 — and found a single entry for this brand: a 2013 recall of children's loungewear for violating the federal flammability standard. That was apparel rather than toys, thirteen years ago, and nothing has been filed since against the plush or doll lines.

The organic cotton used across the plush line, including this sherpa blankie, is GOTS-certified, and the fabric dyes are low-impact and azo-free in line with GOTS requirements. No licence or certificate number is published, and the certification is asserted for the plush line rather than named against this gift set.

Apple Park designs in San Francisco and manufactures in China, and the materials are itemised down to the fill — organic cotton with hypoallergenic corn fiber — with wash and care guidance split by product type. The factory and fabric suppliers are not named and no warranty terms are published.
