Rita Cheetah - Blankie

The body is a light 12" x 12" organic cotton jersey blanket with embroidered facial features and a rattle sewn inside, so there is no rigid component at the face that could detach, and no crib or unsupervised-sleep use is promoted. The disclosure stops short of the sleep question altogether: no age minimum and no safe-sleep note accompany this item, even though it is sold at retail as a 0m+ security blanket.

Construction favours the points that usually fail on a lovey: the face is embroidered rather than attached, and the rattle is sewn in rather than clipped on. Care for soft toys of this type without a waggling, musical or wood-ring unit is machine wash cold, tumble dry low, no bleach and no iron, while the general guidance for organic cotton and corn-fibre fills recommends spot cleaning or hand washing, so the two care routes for this item differ. No seam-strength or repeat-wash result is published.

The blankie is 100% organic cotton knit filled with organic cotton and corn husk fibre, the cotton is GOTS certified, and the fabrics are dyed with low-impact, azo-free dyes in compliance with GOTS requirements, given on this item as OEKO-TEX 100 dyes. No flame-retardant materials are used, and the sewn-in rattle is PVC-, BPA- and phthalate-free. The certification covers the cotton and the dyes rather than the finished sewn lovey, and no certificate number is published.

Every toy in this line is tested to governmental safety standards in the US, Australia, Canada and Europe and carries ASTM F963 and EN 71 certification, and the distributor that carries the line in Australia reports the same laboratory testing to AS/NZS 8124, EN 71 or ASTM across everything it supplies. No Children's Product Certificate or accredited-lab report is published for this blankie.

This blankie is built without detachable small parts: the eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered rather than plastic safety eyes, the rattle is sewn in, and the body is a 12" x 12" cotton knit. No age grade and no small-parts warning are published for the item itself, while across retail these loveys are graded 0m+ and presented for newborns, infants and toddlers.

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 organic cotton in this plush line is GOTS certified, the toys carry ASTM F963 and EN 71 safety certification, and the fabrics are dyed with low-impact, azo-free dyes in compliance with GOTS requirements; this blankie uses OEKO-TEX 100 eco-friendly dyes. No licence or certificate codes are published, and the OEKO-TEX reference attaches to the dyes rather than to the finished sewn blankie, while GOTS attaches to the cotton.

Materials are published component by component for this blankie: 100% organic cotton knit, a fill of organic cotton and corn husk fibre, embroidered eyes, nose and mouth, and a sewn-in PVC-, BPA- and phthalate-free rattle. The products are designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China. The factory or supplier is not named and no warranty term is published.
