Rita Cheetah - Plush

The eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered rather than attached parts, and the rattle is securely sewn inside, so this koala ships with no detachable component; independent coverage of this same koala describes the embroidered features as swallow-proof. Seam-strength or attachment-tension results for the finished toy are not published, and there is no review history yet to test detachment over time.

Apple Park states that all of its toys are mandatorily tested and adhere to governmental safety standards in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe, and that they bear ASTM F963 and EN 71 safety certification; the brand has been an identifiable San Francisco manufacturer with broad retail and wholesale distribution since 2009. No test report or Children's Product Certificate is published, and the edition of ASTM F963 tested against is not named.

Fibre content is fully named — a 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton jersey outer over a fill of organic cotton and hypoallergenic corn fibre — with GOTS-certified low-impact, azo-free dyes and no flame-retardant materials used. A certificate number is not published, and stuffed-toy flammability burn-rate testing is not addressed anywhere for this plush.

No age grade and no small-parts statement are published for this koala, even though the materials and construction are described in detail: the eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered and the rattle is sewn in, so the toy carries no loose small part by design. Apple Park does publish an explicit 0m+ grade for other items in its range, which makes the silence here the one gap.

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 range this plush belongs to is graded 0m+, and its own copy carries no crib, sleep or bedtime-companion positioning that would call for a twelve-month boundary set against it. What is not printed for this animal specifically is a minimum age of its own, beside an otherwise complete account of the organic cotton shell, the corn-fibre fill and the embroidered features.

This koala has no waggling, musical or wooden unit, so it falls under Apple Park's soft-toy care instruction: machine wash cold, tumble dry low, do not bleach, do not iron. The brand's general answer on cleaning its organic toys recommends spot cleaning or hand washing followed by a low tumble to keep the shape, so the two care statements do not align.

This koala is made with 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and coloured with GOTS-certified low-impact, azo-free dyes, and Apple Park states its toys are tested to ASTM F963 and EN 71 for the US, Canada, Australia and Europe. No GOTS licence code or certificate number is published for the plush, so the named certification rests on the brand's own account.

A component-level materials account is published for this plush — organic cotton jersey outer, organic cotton and corn fibre fill, GOTS low-impact dye, and a sewn-in plastic-free, BPA-free, phthalate-free rattle — and the toys are designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China. The factory or supplier name and any warranty term are not published.
