Picnic Pals Plush

This plush is built around pieces that come away by design: an apple rattle that detaches, a mini-rattle necklace, and recycled plastic pellets weighting the base. Its eyes are moulded safety eyes rather than embroidery. This line carries ASTM F963 and EN 71 toy-safety certification and is tested against the governmental safety standards of the US, Australia, Canada and Europe, the regime that sets pull-strength and small-part limits for soft toys, and the detachable pieces are assessed here as a deliberate feature of a certified design rather than a defect. Seam construction and attachment-pull results for this particular toy are not published alongside that certification.

Apple Park states that all of its toys are tested to and bear ASTM F963 and EN 71 certification, and that they adhere to governmental safety standards in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe; its Australian distributor repeats that every product it carries from the brand is tested by an international laboratory to AS/NZS 8124, EN 71 or ASTM standards. No Children's Product Certificate or accredited-lab report is published for this plush.

The fibre content is fully disclosed: a 100% GOTS certified organic cotton shell, hypoallergenic corn fibre fill, and GOTS certified low-impact azo-free dyes, with no flame-retardant materials used. That is a named certification and a complete fibre breakdown, though no certificate number is published and the stuffed-toy burn-rate requirement is not addressed for this plush.

This Lamby comes with a detachable apple plush rattle, a bonus mini-rattle necklace and recycled plastic pellets sealed into its base. Its copy names the non-toxic and recycled materials those parts are made from without stating whether the detachable pieces clear the small-parts cylinder, and no minimum age is printed alongside them.

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 sibling organic cotton rattle in this range carries an explicit 0m+ grade, and this Lamby's own copy makes no crib, sleep or bedtime-companion claim. A minimum age printed for this toy, which comes with a detachable apple rattle and a mini-rattle necklace, is the one thing not stated beside its GOTS-certified cotton, corn-fibre fill and dimensions.

Apple Park's care guidance sets out machine wash cold and tumble dry low for its organic soft toys without a musical, waggling or wood-ring unit, and surface wash only for toys containing a mechanism — but this Lamby carries a detachable rattle and plastic pellets and no care instruction of its own, and the brand's FAQ separately recommends spot cleaning or hand washing for its plush. The two pieces of guidance point different ways and neither is tied to this product.

This plush is made with GOTS certified organic cotton and GOTS certified low-impact, azo-free dyes, and Apple Park states its toys carry ASTM F963 and EN 71 safety certification, including the plastic safety eyes. These are named, falsifiable standards asserted for the toys themselves, but no GOTS licence number or certificate reference is published anywhere on the brand's pages.

The full component list is published for this Lamby — organic cotton shell, corn fibre fill, recycled plastic safety eyes, recycled plastic pellets in the base — along with the fact that the toys are designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China. No warranty terms are published, and the factory or supplier is not named.
