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”.

Lovely soft toyAnonymous reviewerOur grandson spotted this and loved it! Good value. Very soft material. Would be great as a comforter for young children!
Excellent Anonymous reviewerGreat value for money although I would have like it to have some piglets attached and would have been happier to pay a bit extra for this
Nice toy Anonymous reviewerHappy with it
Good quality Anonymous reviewerI visited Ikea about a year ago and bought this pig.. for my dog! And he absolutely loves it. He rags it around by day and sleeps with it at night. It’s such good quality and does not rip or break even with a dog pulling and biting at it. So I bought him another one just in case happens to piggy number 1. He loves it and so do we.
Pancake the pig 🐷🥞Anonymous reviewerhey everyone! today im writing about my piggy, shes called pancake and shes perfect. So this is my story. One day i was very sad and lonley with no one and one of my beautiful friends told me she had a pig that was very meaningful and had been with her and was her companion so naturally she told me i should get one, the next day i decided to go to ikea and buy a cute pig. Her name is pancake and shes absolutely perfect. I could not ask for anything better, shes my ride or die. For me and my bestfriend our pigs are very important in our lives. Our snapchat backround is even our piggys, they even got matching bracelets! Our pigs go everywhere with us and are such a key part of the start of our friendship. Without my pig i dont know what id do. Ikea youve made a real life changer and im very proud, one of the best purchases ive ever made, im so happy to have such a beautiful pig. Ikea have helped our friendship grow stronger and closer. Thank you very much for making such a beautiful pig
cupcake the pig 🐷 🧁 Anonymous reviewer( take ur time to read ) Hiya, When I went to ikea one day , I was walking around really sad , and then walked past the toy sections , which was obviously filled with different toys, cuddly stuffed animals, but when I saw cupcake I knew she was the one that was gonna be my favourite thing ever that I can’t sleep without it, i saw it and went to go ask if I could get it , my parents said yes since it’s very affordable, and very good price for it !! I really really really! , recommend getting a bestfriend like my cupcake. Another thing, me and my best friend have matching pigs and hers is called pancake , so if you see a review about pancake the pig you’ll know it’s involved with cupcake , they are best friends and have matching bracelets , but overall 100/10 recommended to get !! And make sure to give it an awesome name like cupcake 🧁 and pancake 🥞 they are also very very soft ,and very cute 🥰 . Please write an awesome review about ur experience with ur new friend if you get one! 😝
Lovely cuddle pig!Anonymous reviewerThis is a great toy and very soft playmate for my little granddaughter, I have to admit I had many cuddles before gifting . Super soft and very well made. If this toy was in any other store it would probably have been out of my price range, very pleased indeed.
Oink oink oink.Anonymous reviewerThis pig has enhanced my life by 10 social points.
Best thing ever. Repurchasing as I lost him :(Anonymous reviewerFor ten bright years, through land and sea,
My little pig has traveled with me.
From country to country, far and wide,
In every photo, by my side.
But last week in a Tokyo stay,
I left him there and flew away.
Now my heart feels lost and sore—
A friend I cherished is mine no more.
And so I search, though not the same,
To find a twin, to call his name.
For though he’s gone, one thing is true—
The love we shared will still shine through.
(P.S. I am a 33 year old woman) :)
Perfect Piggy 🐷 Anonymous reviewerLovely and soft idea for a cuddle whilst watching TV,no I didn't buy for my grandchildren but for my 70 year old self!!!! 🙂
A cuddley friend Anonymous reviewerVery soft and lifelike, great for nighttime cuddles. My autistic 9 year old daughter absolutely loves hers. A lovely product 5 stars.
KnorrigAnonymous reviewerWhat a delightful Pig. Bought as a gift for a poorly Aunt who loves Pigs. She loved it! It was the best proper looking Pig that I found on the internet and was not disappointed when he arrived. Smashing soft toy.
Gets Cuter Every Time I Look At It Anonymous reviewerBrought it for my niece for Christmas and it’s just so adorable and soft
Oink oinkAnonymous reviewerGranddaughters love it
Dogs love them Anonymous reviewerPurchase for the dogs they seamed happy
Soft toy Knorrig.Anonymous reviewerKnorrig is a lovely soft toy and very cuddly and does not have anything sharp so makes it ideal for a child. It was extremely good value too.
My pets love these soft toysAnonymous reviewerI get the soft toys from IKEA for my dogs and cats. They are totally child safe which means no pieces can come off and ingested by my furbabies. Recommend these 100% over soft toys bought at pet shps that aren't as well made, parts come off and ridiculously expensive.
Not as cute as I hopedAnonymous reviewerI've seen this pig around a lot online and even on tv, so really wanted my own. Its cute enough I suppose, but rather floppy, and the fur feels odd under my fingers, size was ok but I have better quality, more tactile pig toys and this isn't in their league. If I'd been buying in store I'd have left it on the shelf.
A very good, snuggly pigAnonymous reviewerHe’s a good pig. Quite big, but not too big. Good for cuddles and carrying around. Gets a lot of admiring comments when out and about. 5 stars.
Amazing emotional support pig Anonymous reviewerCompanion for 10 years. Loved by the family. 8 in the herd. Would buy again.

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.
