BOSTON (WHDH) — Teething-toy “Sophie the Giraffe” is under fire after reports published in Good Housekeeping say the toy easily gathers mold.

The article reports complaints and photos of mold-infested toys from several parents.

The toy’s manufacturer said the cleaning instructions must be followed exactly, because if the toy does get wet it can cause problems like mold.
