I don't allow bath toys that squirt water for the same reason," Oprea told NBC News. "It just never dawned on me that Sophie, not being a bath toy, would pose the same risks, but it makes sense with two kids drooling all over it."

This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.It's also a good idea to wipe toys down every so often with a Clorox or other cleansing wipe, Hymes added. Is Your Child at Risk? While Calisson advises not to immerse the toy in water, Hymes says soaking it in water that has either bleach or dish soap mixed in is the best way to effectively clean it. Hymes said that while he doesn't know exactly how many toddlers have allergies to mold, he suspects it isn't wildly common. He adds that usually general allergy panels that test for reactions to substances such as dust and pollen will also test for mold allergy.

The toy has been made in France (as Sophie la Girafe) since 1961, first in Asnières-sur-Oise, near Paris by Delacoste then from 1991 by Vulli based in Rumilly in the French Alps.

It has achieved national icon status in France, according to Slate, with more sold each year (816,000 in 2010) than babies are born (796,000). [1] Based on the assessment the ‘Sophie la girafe’ quality department can make from the pictures shown in the [Good Housekeeping] article, it is not possible that saliva could cause the type of mold formation shown in the pictures," said the spokesperson. Internal studies have been conducted and indicated that it is improbable (or in really rare cases) that saliva can transform into mold. It seems that the inside body of the giraffe is still wet, which leads us to believe that there was presence of water inside the giraffe, which caused the mold.
