Fifteen per cent of Australian children have an asthma diagnosis – the third highest rate in the world. Because asthma is difficult to diagnose in babies and small children, reducing exposure to known triggers is a sensible preventative measure.

Asthma Friendly certified toys do not contain any fabric or fillings known to aggravate asthma. Additionally, its quality and workmanship allow for the effective allergen reduction procedure to freeze, wash and dry while maintaining all EN71 and ASTMF963 safety requirements.
