Ziggy Zebra - Pacifier Buddy

The eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered rather than plastic or glued, the rattle is securely sewn inside the head, and nothing detachable ships with the toy — the pacifier tab is hook-and-loop tape and no pacifier is included. No seam-strength or attachment-pull specification is published for the finished plush.

Apple Park's toys are mandatorily tested and bear ASTM F963 and EN 71 safety certification, and they meet the governmental safety standards of the US, Canada, Australia and Europe; the toys are made in China in ICTI-certified factories, and the same ASTM F963 compliance appears in outside non-toxic toy write-ups. No Children's Product Certificate, accredited-lab name, or F963 version reference is published for this plush.

Fibre content is fully disclosed — 100% GOTS certified organic cotton shell, organic cotton and hypoallergenic corn-fibre fill, GOTS certified low-impact azo-free dye — and the sewn-in rattle is PVC-, BPA- and phthalate-free, with no flame-retardant materials used; independent organic-toy guides describe the same materials. Nothing addresses the stuffed-toy burn-rate requirement, and no GOTS certificate number is published.

By design there are no loose small parts: the eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered, the rattle is sewn into the head, and the pacifier attaches to a hook-and-loop tab and is not included. Apple Park publishes no age grade for this buddy, while retailers sell it to newborns and infants, and no small-parts or supervision statement accompanies the toy.

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 is a soft plush that holds a pacifier, so it travels into the sleep space by design, and the line it belongs to is sold from 0m+. Neither a minimum age printed for this animal nor a note keeping soft objects out of a baby's sleep space before twelve months accompanies it, which are the two things an object with that use would carry.

This buddy is machine wash cold, tumble dry low, no bleach and no iron — full machine washability rather than surface-wash-only, which Apple Park reserves for its toys with waggling, musical or wood-ring units. The caveat is that the brand elsewhere recommends spot cleaning or hand washing followed by low tumble drying to help the toy keep its shape, so the two care directions do not match, and no shape- or fabric-retention result after repeated washing is published.

The koala is made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton coloured with GOTS certified low-impact, azo-free dye, and Apple Park's plush toys carry ASTM F963 and EN 71 safety certification. Independent non-toxic toy guides describe the same GOTS cotton, corn-fibre fill and non-toxic dyes. No GOTS licence or certificate number is printed for this plush, and no lab report accompanies the ASTM and EN 71 claims.

A component-level materials list is published for this buddy — GOTS organic cotton jersey, organic cotton and corn-fibre fill, GOTS low-impact dye, and a securely sewn PVC-, BPA- and phthalate-free rattle — and the toys are designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China. The factory or supplier is not named and no warranty term is published.
