Have you ever given your child or a loved one a Christmas gift only to find out it only made your loved one’s asthma and allergies worse?

If so or if you just don’t want to tell your child they cannot have a stuffed animal again, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s (AAFA) asthma and allergy certification program may be just what you need.

All stuffed toys that are certified asthma and allergy friendly have gone through a significant testing process to ensure these toys will not worsen asthma and allergies with not only first, but also repeated use.

In addition to testing to make sure these stuffed toys do not worsen your asthma, the AAFA tests the plush toys dyes to make sure they are not irritating. Additionally, the AAFA tests to see how allergens like dust mites accumulate in these toys and how successful routine laundering gets rid of the allergens.

A certified asthma and allergy friendly toy may make your home a little healthier this holiday season.
