Woodland Pal Plush - Porcupine

This porcupine uses recycled plastic safety eyes rather than the embroidered eyes and securely sewn details given to the newborn-graded sibling plush, and it carries loose recycled plastic pellets in its base. The plush safety eyes are tested and approved to ASTM F963, which is where attachment tension is graded, but no attachment-test result, no seam construction detail and no statement of how the pellet fill is contained is published for this toy.

All of these toys are mandatorily tested against governmental safety standards in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe, and the plush safety eyes are tested and approved to ASTM F963 and EN 71. No Children's Product Certificate, accredited-lab report or F963 revision year is published for this porcupine.

The outer fabric is 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, the dye is a GOTS-compliant low-impact, azo-free dye, and the fill is naturally hypoallergenic corn (PLA) fibre with no flame-retardant materials used — specifics that independent non-toxic-toy and parenting writers restate for this plush line. No certificate number is published, and no stuffed-toy burn-rate result under 16 CFR 1500.44 is given.

No age grade is published for this porcupine by the brand or by the retailers carrying it, and no small-parts note appears with it, even though the toy has recycled plastic safety eyes and loose plastic pellets in its base. The sibling Farm Buddies plush line, by contrast, is graded from newborn.

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.

This porcupine is built with plastic safety eyes rather than the embroidered features the Farm Buddies plush carry, and it is sold in baby and toddler categories. Beside a full account of its knit cotton, fill and dyes, a minimum age printed for this porcupine is the one thing not stated, and its own copy makes no crib or bedtime claim.

The care guidance conflicts: soft toys without a rattle, musical or wood-ring unit are given as machine wash cold and tumble dry low instructions, while elsewhere spot cleaning or hand washing followed by a low tumble is recommended for these organic cotton and corn-fibre toys. Nothing states which applies to this porcupine, which has no mechanism but does contain plastic pellets in its base.

The shell is 100% GOTS certified organic cotton and the fabric dye is a GOTS certified low-impact, azo-free dye, and the toys carry ASTM F963 and EN 71 safety certification — asserted for the finished toys rather than only for a supplier's mill. No licence or certificate number accompanies the GOTS claim, and no lab report accompanies the ASTM or EN 71 claim.

Every component of this porcupine is listed — GOTS organic cotton shell, hypoallergenic corn fibre fill, recycled plastic safety eyes, recycled plastic pellets in the base — and the toys are designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China. The factory is not named, and no warranty, repair or spare-parts policy is published for the plush line.
