HABA stuffed snail rattle baby toy with flower: 144 ppm Antimony in the snail head (typical in stuffed animals with polyfil.)

Antimony content in stuffed animals, fabric and polyfil is not regulated (as far as I understand.) Antimony is pervasive throughout plastics in our environment – from plastic food packaging to plastic-based (synthetic) fabrics to plastic stuffings in stuffed items (like dolls, pillows and quilts.)
