Where do Simply Fido colors come from?
The Pure Water Wash process is the secret to creating such charming colors. Untreated cotton thread is woven into gently flowing fabric and then brightened with nature's own plants and minerals. The fabric is then triple-washed in pure water to set the color. As a result, each toy has its own unique appearance and color variance.
Colors from Mother Nature:
- Beige is from a Chestnut Bur
- Yellow is from a Gardenia Seed
- Red is from the Madder Root
- Gray is from the Mineral Charcoal
Why Organic?
Being a consumer of organic goods means not only keeping chemicals out of the air, water and soil, but most importantly, our bodies.
One third of all the world's pesticides are used on cotton crops alone. This is not just bad for the planet as the pesticide toxins affect all levels of the food chain, but according to the World Health Organization (WHO), some 20,000 deaths occur each year from pesticide poisoning in developing countries, many being from cotton farming.
Thanks to the pioneering efforts of organic farmers, biologically based methods of growing cotton are emerging. Working with nature rather than against nature, organically grown cotton becomes sustainable.

EN71 - part 9
EN71 is European safety criterion for toys effective since 1990 in the European Union (EU). The standard EN 71 – 9 specifies the requirements for migration or content of certain hazardous organic chemical compounds from/in toy materials by the following exposure routes:
* Mouthing

CE
The CE mark (officially Communaut' European marking) is a mandatory marking on certain products, which was introduced by the European Commission, and adopted in July 1993. The CE Mark is not a quality mark, but rather a symbol that indicates conformity to the legal requirements of the European Union (EU) Directive. Every manufacturer or first supplier in the Community must place a CE mark on his toy to indicate that it has been made in conformity with the essential safety requirements of the directive.
Certified Non-Toxic
Classification of not being toxic or a skin/eye irritant as defined in the 16CFR 1500.3(b)(5) and (8)(FHSA regulations), based on a Toxicological Risk Assessment by an approved Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services toxicologist.
Oeko-Tex Standard 100
The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 comprehensively addresses the Human Ecology component of textile products. It evaluates and screens for any harmful substances present within processed textiles intended to come into contact with consumers.
The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 encompasses the industries established testing criteria for textile products and also addresses quality assurance and test procedures. It not only takes into account the finished textile goods, but also any associated accessories and "grey" product areas such as fibres, yarns and buttons.
In this standard, the relevant harmful substances are defined together with limiting values, taking into consideration the intended use of the product. For example, the clothing products close to the skin, such as underwear and baby products.
