CHOKING HAZARDS SMALL PARTS, BIG DANGER
Small, detachable parts are the most common
culprits when it comes to custom plushies safety
issues. Eyes, noses, buttons, ribbons, bows, and
other decorations can easily detach, especially
with rough play or over time.

MATERIAL DANGERS BEYOND THE CUDDLY SURFACE
The materials used in custom plushies can also
present safety risks. Toxic dyes, allergens in
fabrics, and low-quality filling materials can
all pose health problems. Cheap dyes may contain
harmful chemicals that can leach out and cause
skin irritation or other health issues.

CONSTRUCTION FLAWS THE IMPORTANCE OF STRONG SEAMS
A custom plushie is only as safe as its
construction. Strong stitching, secure seams, and
durable construction are essential to prevent
tearing and the release of stuffing or small
parts. Poorly constructed plush toys can easily
rip or tear, especially during rough play.

FLAMMABILITY KEEPING THE CUDDLES SAFE FROM FIRE
While less common than choking or material
hazards, flammability is another important safety
consideration for custom plushies. Certain
fabrics or materials are more flammable than
others and can pose a fire risk. Plush toys
should meet flammability standards to minimize
this risk.
