Sophie la girafe Vulli

Q: Will buying Sophie for my baby make me a better parent? How many should I buy?

Absolutely. Or get left behind with the other bad parents.

Q: I read a few posts on the internet about a recall of Sophie. Check wikipedia. Are the Sophies sold on this Amazon page made after March 2012?

There was never an "official" recall on Sophie. What happened was that Sophie was found by a third party to contain a higher level of Nitrosatable content than allowed in order to conform to the European Safety Standard for teethers and soothers. In response Vulli changed their processing sometime in 2012 and offered a voluntary exchange program for Sophies purchased in Germany. Vulli wont say when exactly the formulation was changed but the new safety test report that showed the reduced Nitrosatable content came out April 2012. Sophie has always conformed to US Safety Standards so anyone who purchased a Sophie before the formulation change in the USA were not considered eligible for the exchange program. Sophie the Giraffe is such a popular toy that I would be surprised if any of the older Sophies are still currently "on the shelf". If you want to be sure however the batch number on Sophies leg reveals the manufacture date. My Sophies number is 322060. The last four numbers are the ones you want. The third number on mine (2) stands for the year... the 2 on mine represents 2012. The following three numbers (060) are the day of the year, the 60th day of the year in 2012 was February 29th. So my Sophie was manufactured February 29, 2012, probably right before the formulation change. I hope that makes sense and is helpful to everyone.

Q: Will Sophie's high likelihood of growing black mold give my child an amazing immune system?

No DUHHH!! How you think beast boy got to be ? 🙄🙄

Q: What guarantee that this is a real Sophie and not a fake?

I ordered this item twice. One time I got the legitimate Sophie, and one time I received a fake. The box, quality of the toy and quality of the pamphlet inserts is obvious when a fake is sent. The fake was a little smaller of a giraffe and the color was more of a yellow rubber.

Safe, functional... and cute!

I bought my first "Sophie" when my (now teenage) son was a baby. I was looking for a non-plastic teething toy and stumbled upon a blog that mentioned (the then hard to source) Sophie the Giraffe. I managed to track one down that would deliver to the UK.My son adored her. She was the perfect size for wee hands (and mouths!) and he loved making her squeak. Best of all, being rubber I knew she was safe. I still have her and she is still looking good, despite her few early years of being well chewed.She is now my go-to baby present and I have bought many to gift over the years. All have been well received and have become much loved.
