Would the material be allergic to certain people?

Answer 2

Depends on how old your child is. If under three, you have to be very careful how you attach small pieces like eyes, nose, etc, as the child can swallow or choke on those. You would need to use materials that are non-toxic (i.e. - glue, stuffing, etc), I would use new materials only to avoid bacteria and germs.

Answer 3

Material ingrediants

Small Parts

Allergens

Dyes and Chemical treatments

Flamability.
