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”.

My dog's emotional support stuffyPattyI bought this in hope that our dog would snuggle with it when we aren't available. It worked! It is very soft and squishy, Lilly loves it.
AdorablePaulSuch a cute stuffed animal, soft and very huggable. Love that the mouth is able to stay closed with velcro, so the tongue can be in, out or to one side. Gives it a lot of personality.
Pups love thisShudhasheelWe usually don't buy human toys for our pups' but they love it. They will probably tear it at some point but there have been several photo sessions already with these toys :-)
Stuff dog purchaseGailVery cute but they should at least put it in a plastic bag .It was just handed to me !

Soft and bigVictoriaSoft, and big enough to be a pillow. My son is autistic and enjoys touching this doggo.
My child's favoriteGeriMy daughter loves this puppy so much. She wore out the first one she had and now will be surprised to get a new fluffy pup for Christmas.
HuggableKellieEveryone cuddles up with this guy. Great toy.
Yellow DogDougI love this big, soft, plushy puppy. Especially the feature of his tongue which can be expressive by lolling around, but also tucked away by the Velcro enclosure.
Perfect pet toy!RobMy dog loves IKEA plush toys. While other plush toys are quickly eviscerated, in 11 years, she has never torn an IKEA toy. All cloth and no plastic parts, I have found them to be ideal for her.
Golden retriever, stuffed animalCarolineI bought this for my dog and it was adorable but it’s not very sturdy. He had it ripped up the first hour. Clearly it’s for a child and for that it would be adorable. Very very cute, plush golden.
Cuddly and adorable stuffed animal!PaulaMy daughter adores this Cuddly and adorable toy!
FavoriteHolliThis is my 1 year old grandson’s favorite toy. He carries it around with him every where he goes. And sleeps with it at night.

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.
