Choking Hazard Research
One soft toy with ribbon legs, textured antlers for teething and a clip. Target lists it for newborns and up, shows no small-parts warning, and says it meets ASTM standards and is JPMA certified; SafeNest has not verified either claim or measured the toy. Check the stitching and ribbons as it gets chewed, and use the clip on strollers and bags, not in the crib.
Wording reflects publicly available product information. SafeNest has not physically measured or tested this product. Follow the current packaging, warnings and supervision guidance.
