Jörgen remembers the call. The fact that the eye came off despite all risk analyses and safety checks was very serious. Still, in hindsight, he still sees that it led to something really good. ”Thanks to what happened, we learned to systematize safety work even more. We established clearer procedures and areas of responsibility”.

GorgeousTaniaThis is the 4th pig we have given our jack Russell dog Archie. He absolutely loves them. Will love the guts out of them and chew them till all the fluff is outside. Quite amusing but alot of mess to pick up. Takes him about 3 weeks to destroy poor pig. But they good therapy for him.
Adorable, super soft toy at excellent price.MargaretI bought this for my 2 year old granddaughter as it is super soft and cuddly and a lovely, soft pink colour. She absolutely adore it. So soft it can be used as a little head pillow. A bargain at $10.

Soft toy review AngelLove piggy . Miss the mini rats and the cats . I buy regularly for my dog who accidentally lost her original small pig but she hasn't noticed the difference. It holds up to her rough parenting and constant cleaning routine. Very happy with purchase. My only complaint is the long annoying tags.
PiggyTristianMum likes pigs so got her one, feels solid and very lovely to look at

Story
The story of a broken eye and what it taught us
The IKEA store in Helsinki, Finland, was full of customers that day back in 1997. Being a textile technologist at Children’s IKEA at the time, Carina Ingelsten ran a course about safety for a group of IKEA co-workers. ”I lifted up a teddy bear and pulled on the legs and arms to show how well they are sewn in place. When I pulled on the plastic eye, something happened that shouldn't – the eye came off”, says Carina. This was a major setback for Children's IKEA, but it was a setback that would lead to important safety improvements.
All soft toys were removed from the store as Carina tried to call her colleagues in Sweden. ”It was a Saturday, so it wasn't that easy to get a hold of people, but in the end Jörgen Svensson, my manager at Children's IKEA, answered and we succeeded in stopping global sales of our soft toys”.
Major consequences
More personal expression
The incident also led to the decision to not use plastic eyes at all. Embroidered eyes were not only safer, they also proved to give more character and personality to the toys. Annie Huldén, a designer who has created many soft toys over the years, agrees. ”The eyes are very important for a soft toy and plastic eyes easily seem too symmetrical and stale, while embroidered eyes are easier to vary in terms of the design, the size of pupils and the eyelashes.” Soft toys at Children's IKEA are loved by children throughout the world. It's a loved friend to play with and find comfort with - and which parents can always feel secure about.
Quality
Sure, they’re cute but are they safe? Absolutely!
You can rest assured knowing that all our children’s products live up to the highest health and safety standards. We put our toys to the test – up against the toughest in the world (much tougher than any two-year-old). All so you can worry less and they can play more.
Function solution
Soft toys to hug, again and again
We know our soft toys should handle many years of love. That’s why we’ve chosen comfy materials, embroidered eyes, performed rigorous washing tests – and ensured that we test them for harmful chemicals. Simple to keep clean and fresh since they can be machined washed.
