2014 Nintendo Super Mario Doll, Made in China: 158 ppm Antimony (likely in the stuffing).

I test everything.  STFU.  Call me if you have questions. 😠

Antimony content in stuffed animals, fabric and polyfil is not regulated (as far as I understand.) Antimony is pervasive throughout plastics in our environment – from plastic food packaging to plastic-based (synthetic) fabrics to plastic stuffings in stuffed items (like dolls, pillows and quilts.)
