Park Friends - Chloe

This doll avoids the usual failure mode for a from-birth soft toy: the facial features are embroidered rather than attached plastic safety eyes, the hair is sewn fabric pigtails rather than rooted or beaded, and the only accessory is a sewn muslin romper. Apple Park states its toys carry ASTM F963 and EN 71 certification, which covers small parts and attachment strength, but no seam-strength or pull-test result is published for Chloe's pigtails, limbs or romper trims.

There is no vinyl body and no painted face here — the doll is GOTS-certified organic cotton fabric with an embroidered face, filled with corn fibre instead of polyester, and the fabrics are dyed with low-impact azo-free dyes as GOTS requires, with no flame-retardant treatments used. No certificate number or finished-doll chemical test report is published.

Apple Park presents Chloe as a companion for years to come, and the care guidance is honest rather than overstated: spot cleaning is recommended for this doll, with hand washing and low tumble drying used to help the toy keep its shape. The pigtails are sewn fabric rather than rooted hair, so there is no washable-hair claim to fail. No seam-strength or wash-durability testing is described and no result is given.

Apple Park states that all of its toys are mandatorily tested and adhere to governmental safety standards in the US, Australia, Canada and Europe, and that they bear ASTM F963 and EN 71 safety certification — a named mandatory US standard rather than generic "meets safety standards" copy. No Children's Product Certificate, testing laboratory or report date is published for this doll, which is normal industry practice since certificates go to retailers rather than shoppers.

Chloe is graded suitable from birth, and the construction matches that grading: the face is embroidered rather than fitted with plastic safety eyes, the pigtails are sewn fabric, and the body is soft-filled with corn fibre with no rigid or rattling components described. No small-parts warning statement or 16 CFR 1501 cylinder result is published alongside the age grading.

We queried the full CPSC recall corpus — 9,944 records spanning 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 plush and doll line is made with GOTS-certified organic cotton, dyed with low-impact azo-free dyes to GOTS requirements, and the toys are stated to carry ASTM F963 and EN 71 safety certification. No GOTS licence or certificate number is published for this doll, and no dated test report naming Park Friends - Chloe is available.

The materials are published — GOTS-certified organic cotton shell, a fill of organic cotton and corn fibre, azo-free low-impact dyes, no flame-retardant treatments — and the products are designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China, with care instructions published by product type. The individual factory or supplier is not named and no warranty term is published.
