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”.

Kramig panda reviewCatherineCute stuffed panda. Has a nice appearance but more importantly it is soft & cuddly.
Reynaldo's FavoriteKarlaMy dog truly adores his new plush toy; his panda accompanies him everywhere he goes.
Great valueSandraI always purchase stuffed animals at IKEA for the value, quality and the sewn in eyes and nose. Safe for kids
Perfect panda at great priceDoreenThis panda was only 4.99..same price as the mini me one that is about 2 inches high. The panda is plush and pretty to look at. Perfect gift for little ones to hold and cherish 💞
Best bear everLauraThis bear is my daughter's best friend. Won't sleep or go places without him. From Pediatrician to cardiologist to Disney. Easy to clean and take around. Just the best.
Most loved pandaVictoriaI am not sure why this panda is so loved by my daughter and the best bear ever! And since they are so inexpensive… bear goes into the washer then the dryer and comes out brand new everytime! Wild on how that happens! 😂🤣
Best 3.99 I have ever spentLucyThis panda has been with me through a lot. Our journey began as my relationship with my ex ended. This panda got me through lonely nights and lots of good cries. Then we flew to Switzerland together to escape the past. All was fun and games until I got E Coli for 4+ weeks. When I went to the hospital my panda was waiting at home for me. On our way back to the States, we got stuck in the JFK airport overnight. I don’t know what I would have done if not for my panda, but it would have been drastic. We made it back but I got norovirus. Once again, my panda was there for me when I needed to isolate from everyone else. I recently had a colonoscopy. Who never judged me for being unable to control my outputs? This panda. This panda has unironically become my emotional support animal. It still doesn’t have a name, but it holds a very large part of my heart. Yes I am an adult. I am also an advocate for everyone owning and cherishing their own ikea panda.

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.
