Dear All Mummies, Just to let you know my experience, I bought an imitation Elephant made in XXXXX. My 2 year old daughter play and kisses the Elephant whole day. Before bed time, I realized paint over her mouth. I'm horriflied and clean her mouth many times to remove the paint. Thank God! she is fine now. I hope there no Toxic in this imitation product. Theres so much news about inresponsible manufacturer using unsafe and toxic material to produce cheap products. For imitation products, may be the worst case. I learn my lesson well. It's not worth the risk, Be Safe and Play Safe. I brought my daughter to PARTY JOY at Parkway and I'm so happy we got the original product from Japan. Very good quality and you can see the different straight away. My daughter now seen walking with her everywhere. Cheers' Linda Chong
