The Knit Beanie Baby

The beanie is listed as 100% organic cotton knit, made in Portugal by Padrão Determinado, whose GOTS and OEKO-TEX numbers are published for the factory rather than this beanie.

The beanie's listing does not describe seam construction, snap retention, or the absence of appliqués or ties, and the only fastener-related evidence we have concerns other garments in the line rather than this cap.

Knitwear dyes, which cover this beanie, are stated to meet the ZDHC chemical safety protocol that screens for hazardous substances including restricted azo dyes. No specific test method or result for this cap's dye lot is given.

The GOTS and OEKO-TEX numbers published for this garment belong to its knitwear maker, Padrão Determinado, not to the garment itself, and both OEKO-TEX certificates have since expired.

We queried the complete CPSC recall database covering 1973 through 2026 and found no record naming this brand in any role. A control check confirmed the corpus covers comparable baby product classes, so the clean result reflects an actual absence rather than a blind spot.

Both OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certificates given for this garment's knitwear maker, Padrão Determinado in Portugal (10627CIT and 10629CIT), show as expired in OEKO-TEX's label check, and the GOTS certificate number given for the same maker does not appear in the GOTS public database.

Nothing on the beanie's listing or the brand's care guidance mentions a wrinkle-resistant, non-iron, or stain/water-repellent finish, and general care instructions recommend cold or hand washing for knit baby items. No explicit no-treatment declaration is made for this cap, though the surrounding disclosure is otherwise strong.

Care guidance specifically calls for hand washing or a delicate cycle for knit and baby-sized items, which directly covers this beanie, and this guidance is repeated consistently across the brand's own pages.

The Simple Folk names the factory behind its garments, with that factory's GOTS licence number, and publishes a traceability page that follows the cotton back to named farms and notes where certification is still in progress. Some garments give a country of manufacture that conflicts with the factory named for them, and no warranty or repair route is published.

This beanie is a dyed knit with no hardware or applied graphic, so the azo-dye question rests on the dye chemistry itself. ZDHC-compliant dyes are claimed for the knitwear range, but no test method or result is given for the dyes used on this cap specifically.
