gund

Gund is an American brand known for soft stuffed animals and plush toys, including teddy bears. It has a long history and wide distribution, with products sold in specialty stores, department stores, and online.

The company was established in New York in the late 19th century and developed a reputation for craftsmanship and quality. Gund's product lines include classic teddy bears, other plush animals, baby toys, and licensed character plush from popular franchises. The designs emphasize lifelike pose, cuddliness, and durability.

Plush toys are typically made with synthetic fabrics and polyester fiberfill. Gund states that its safety standards meet or exceed industry requirements, and its toys are designed for different age groups, including infants.
