Kids Preferred Baby Buddy Bear
Kids With Asthma and Allergies Should Be Able To Have Stuffed Animals Too!
A New Addition to Line of Kids Preferred asthma & allergy friendly™ Plush Allows Children To Cuddle With Confidence™
It`s a tough job as a parent of an asthmatic or allergic child telling them that they can`t have a stuffed animal to cuddle, but many parents face this tough task because the stuffed animals can harbor dust mites and other substances that trigger their symptoms.
But now there is an option, Kids Preferred, a leading plush manufacturer, has devoted its resources to developing an entire line of plush that kids with asthma and allergies can cuddle to their hearts' content. The line was introduced in 2006, and was so well received that one of the leading toy testing organizations, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, recognized the importance of the Kids Preferred line with two 2007 Gold Awards. Kids Preferred "Àsthma Friendly" realistic plush animals have also received the Mr. Dad Father`s Day 2008 Seal of Recognition.
In 2008 they introduced a new addition to the line, Baby Buddy Bear. The bear is safe for all ages, and measures 10 inches in length.
Kids Preferred Plush has achieved asthma & allergy friendly™ Certification on a range of plush toys because they meet the asthma & allergy friendly™ standards according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The quality and workmanship of the Kids Preferred products that are asthma & allergy friendly™ certified allow for recommended effective allergen reduction procedure to freeze, wash and dry while meeting or exceeding all EN71 and ASTMF963 safe requirements. What does that mean? It means that you can be sure that the allergen levels are brought to safe limits after each wash and opposed to the vast majority of plush products on the planet that fade, shrink or fall apart when washed; these stuffed animals have been designed to withstand wash after wash and look and feel like new!
Each stuffed toy comes with instructions on how to keep the product in a low allergen state, which requires the freeze/wash/dry process to be repeated on average every four to eight weeks, depending on the item. The asthma & allergy friendly™ testing standards and methods were developed by Allergy Standards Limited (ASL), a physician led organization, and adopted by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, the leading patient advocacy group for people with asthma and allergies in the United States. Toy products that have been tested and meet the standards qualify for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America asthma & allergy friendly™ Joint Seal. Kids Preferred is the first manufacturer in the world to have manufactured toys that meet the asthma & Allergy friendly™ standard and to carry the Joint Seal.
Dr. John O`Mahony, Chief Executive Officer for Allergy Standards Limited, believes that Kids Preferred has done an excellent job designing and manufacturing plush that compiles these high standards. 'Without a manufacturer likes Kids Preferred, it is unlikely that you would find asthma & allergy friendly™ certified toys in the marketplace today. Kids Preferred should be truly proud of this accomplishment and I know that those with asthma and allergies will be grateful too."
