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”.

Very cuteUrsulaAdorable kitty. Soft and washable.
LillepluttAnonymousThis little kitten is my MultiPro Beanzie favorite toy. He sleeps with when it’s time to go to bed and says most favorite stuffed animal. I had to buy extras just in case it’s something that he really does like and looks all over for when it’s time for bed.
PlushieBillyI actually bought this for my cat, he loves stuffed animals. It's such a bonus that there's no items that can be chewed off like sewed or glued on eyes. He loves playing with it.

Beautiful catJoseI have two of these as gifts for my children, and they have thoroughly enjoyed them.
Favorite Kitty PlushieKimLilleplutt is a favorite toy in my family. I've bought a lilleplutt plush toy in the past and needed to purchase more for Christmas gifts. I was pleasantly surprised to find lilleplutt's fur had been made softer! The material was improved and a higher quality with the same cute and cuddly design. Looking forward to gifting a few this year. I know they will be favorite companions for years to come!

My lovely LillepluttMarcusI got my lilleplutt a while back when I was a child and my father took me and my brother to ikea. Me and my brother went to children's section and I went to a small reading nook where there were many plushies but Lilleplutt caught my eye. Soon after I had my very own Lilleplutt. Very soft, cuddly, and the perfect size to take around with you.
soft KittyKarenThis was a replacement kitty for my dog. My husband "accidentally" gave her original one away. I was worried she would not like this one as much as her first baby. She loves it!

Perfect car frenAmandaI have cat guys. Glad IKEA is here to support that.
LilyHeatherI got this little one for Christmas several years ago. At the time, I had a real cat named Lily, and she looked exactly like Lilleplutt! She was constantly trying to run off with her stuffed twin. I was devastated when my Lily passed, but Lilleplutt is a constant reminder of her.
Thank you, IKEA.

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.
