The affected toys include cer­tain Sesame Street toys, Dora the Explorer and Diego toys made by Fisher-Price, certain Mat­tel toys, such as Bat­man, Polly Pocket, Bar­bie acces­sories, and Sarge cars.

Giraffe Teether Toy for Babies from 0 — 12 months
From £9.49 for new­borns upwards

Sophie is not just a fun and safe toy, she is a really use­ful gift to help Mum, Dad and Baby get through the painful teething stage.

After see­ing so many of friend’s babies hap­pily chew­ing on the  Sophie’s legs, neck and ears I intro­duced my six month old son to the delights of the sweet smelling giraffe.  Sophie is a great teether. He likes to gnaw on her ears and antlers.  She can be squeezed and chewed as she is made from 100% nat­ural rub­ber (phtha­late free) and food paint.
