What is so great about this bear? Well, it is certainly adorable but that is not all. The material it is made of and its contribution towards the environment make it a darn near perfect toy. This cute bear is not made of 100% SOYSILK brand fiber. During the manufacture of tofu, wastes are produced, and the fiber is made from these wastes and not the tofu itself. So it eco-friendly in its own right.
The fabric has been compared to cashmere in its softness. This cute toy wins the earth friendly bear prize. At the Biltmore World Trade, the tofu bear is priced at $39.00. Next time I need to buy a baby gift this bear is at the top of the candidate list!
I purchased two bears and the quality is horrible. One bear was for my baby (website said this bear was great for young children), so I washed it before giving it to him. When I pulled it out of the washer the bear was torn in four areas. I then looked at the unwashed bear and it too was falling apart in two spots.
The website also says this bear is 100% SOYSILK fiber, which is not true. The inside of the bear is synthetic fiber fill.
I contacted the company to return the bears and they refused to refund my money. They offered to replace the bears if I paid for the return shipping.
