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.)

Hi,
In case your’e wondering where this may be from, your photo of the pineapple looks EXACTLY the same as part of a set of stuffed fruits and veggies I got for my daughter more than 5 years ago from IKEA.
Looks like they are still available: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/latsas-11-piece-shopping-basket-set-00262006/
TY
I came here to say that looks like our IKEA pineapple too.
