Key Features

Certifications

  • OEKO-TEX Certified

    Certified by OEKO-TEX (Standard 100)

    OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certifies that every component of a textile item has been lab-tested and found free of harmful substances above set limits.

    What it checks

    • Testing of yarn, fabric, buttons, and other accessories against a list of over 1,000 regulated substances
    • Stricter chemical limits for products with more intensive skin contact, including a dedicated infant/toddler product class
    • Compliance with chemical regulations such as REACH, CPSIA, and the ECHA-SVHC candidate list
    • Annual review of substance limit values and one-year validity per certificate

    What it does not cover It tests for chemical residues only and does not certify general product safety features like choking hazards, flammability, or mechanical construction.

    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

88 /100

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

Fiber Content & Origin 91

The fibre content is exact — 100% organic cotton in a waffle weave, with no synthetic blend — and the garments are manufactured in China. Apple Park's baby and toddler apparel line is GOTS certified organic cotton, though the cotton's growing region and a certificate reference for this sweatshirt are not published.

Construction & Fastener Safety 84

The sweatshirt is a pullover with classic seam details — no snaps, buttons or zips to work loose, no appliqués or detachable trim, and no cords or ties at the neck. Beyond that phrase, the seam construction is not specified and no small-parts or use-and-abuse test result is published for the finished garment.

Dye Safety 91

The fabric dyes on this sweatshirt are OEKO-TEX 100, and Apple Park's organic cotton fabrics are coloured with low-impact, azo-free dyes in line with GOTS requirements. The colourway here is a muted smoke on a cotton base rather than a vivid print on synthetic, and no certificate number or dye test report is published.

Textile Certification 87

This sweatshirt carries a fibre claim of 100% organic cotton and an OEKO-TEX 100 certification held by the fabric dyes — not a certification carried by the finished garment. Apple Park's GOTS statement covers its plush items, and the GOTS-certified apparel described across the wider range is not tied to this sweatshirt.

Recall History 92

We queried the full CPSC recall corpus — 9,944 records spanning June 1973 to August 2026 — and found one entry for Apple Park: a 2013 recall of children's loungewear for violating the federal flammability standard. Nothing has been filed in the thirteen years since, and nothing in the layette or romper category this garment belongs to.

Certification Credibility 87

The only named certification attached to this sweatshirt is OEKO-TEX 100, and it sits on the fabric dyes rather than on the finished garment; the GOTS claim Apple Park makes covers its plush items and its cotton generally, not this sweatshirt. No licence or certificate number is published for either standard.

Chemical Finish Avoidance 79

Nothing about this sweatshirt is sold as easy-care, wrinkle-resistant, non-iron, stain-resistant or water-repellent, and the care guidance calls for a cool iron. Apple Park uses no flame-retardant materials and low-impact azo-free dyes, but there is no statement either way about wrinkle-resist or water- and stain-repellent finishes on this garment.

Pre-Wash & Care Guidance 88

Care guidance for this sweatshirt is published in full and consistently — machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, tumble dry low, cool iron, do not bleach, do not dry clean — and the same instructions appear in Apple Park's organic layette care guidance and in the retail listing with no conflict. There is no advice to wash the garment before first wear.

Transparency & Support 89

Apple Park's products are designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China, and the fibre content is given as 100% organic cotton waffle. No mill or sewing facility is named and no warranty is offered on the apparel.

Hardware & Print Safety 79

This is a plain pullover with classic seam details — no snaps, buttons, zips or raised screen-printed graphics form part of the design. Dye chemistry is covered by the OEKO-TEX 100 fabric dyes and an azo-free statement, but nothing is published on metal trim or print inks for this garment.
