Key Features

Certifications

  • GOTS Certified Organic

    Certified by Global Organic Textile Standard

    GOTS certification verifies that a textile product's organic fibre content and its full processing supply chain meet defined organic, environmental and social criteria.

    What it checks

    • Confirms fibres used are certified organic (e.g. cotton, wool, hemp, silk, linen)
    • Checks chemical inputs, wastewater treatment and environmental management during processing
    • Verifies human rights and social due-diligence criteria across the supply chain
    • Requires traceability, annual on-site audits and transaction-based checks at every processing stage

    What it does not cover This certification addresses organic fibre content, processing chemicals and supply-chain conditions; it is not a general product safety, flammability, or choking-hazard test.

    This certification is held by the brand or manufacturer, not by Birch. We show it because the brand states it for this product. Summarised from the certifying body's own page.

TrustScore breakdown

89 /100

We take what's most important for a product to determine the TrustScore. Here's our research:

Mechanism Safety 91

The only mechanism in this set is a rattle sewn inside the block — a HIPS plastic casing filled with GPPS beads, free of PVC, BPA and phthalates — and the blocks are soft fabric with embroidered faces, so there are no hinges, spinners, shear points or rigid knobs to pinch fingers or work loose. We queried the CPSC recall database and found nothing filed against this brand's toys; the single entry for the company is a 2013 children's loungewear flammability recall.

Build Durability 84

Construction is 100% organic cotton sherpa with four embroidered sides and a rattle sewn in, and care for this set is spot cleaning, with cold machine washing and low tumble drying given for the brand's soft toys without wood or mechanical units. Neither a seam-strength or wash-durability test method nor any result is published for the blocks, so the build claim rests on the material description alone.

Developmental Claim Honesty 91

The developmental claims are tied to features that actually exist on the product: high-contrast black-and-white faces for early visual focus, and embroidered numbers and symbols on four sides for matching, counting, adding and number recognition as the child grows. There is no STEM or Montessori buzzword stacking, and no skill is claimed that the blocks do not physically support.

Toy Safety Compliance 92

All of these toys are mandatorily tested and bear ASTM, F963 and EN 71 safety certification, and meet governmental safety standards in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe. No Children's Product Certificate or accredited-lab report naming this block set is published, and the distributor catalogues that stock the soft dice set carry only a blanket assurance covering their whole range rather than compliance data for this product.

Age Grading & Choking Safety 79

Each block measures 3 x 3 x 3 inches — far larger than the small-parts cylinder — with the numbers and symbols embroidered rather than applied and the rattle sewn inside, so there are no detachable pieces by design. The disclosure stops short of what this criterion asks: the copy is written for babies and then for older toddlers, but no age grade and no small-parts warning statement are published for this set.

Recall History 92

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.

Certification Credibility 92

The cotton in this line is GOTS certified organic and the dyes are OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, and the toys carry ASTM, F963 and EN 71 safety certification. The safety certification is asserted for the toys themselves, while the GOTS and OEKO-TEX claims attach to the cotton and the dyes rather than to the finished block set, and no certificate or licence numbers are published for either.

Transparency & Support 90

The materials are published piece by piece: 100% organic cotton sherpa, four embroidered sides, and a sewn-in rattle that is PVC-, BPA- and phthalate-free, built from a HIPS plastic casing with GPPS beads, with organic cotton and corn-fibre filling used across the line. The toys are designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China; no warranty terms and no factory or supplier name are given.
