Sharp, hulled rice?!
I really wanted to love this guy. He's soft and has a good weight and size to him. He's also very cute and smells nicely. Works well in the microwave too BUT, the rice that fills the body is hulled. That means sharped, pointed pieces of rice make their way through the fabric and essentially stab you. My son told me it was stabbing him and sure enough, if you cuddle or move it wrong, sharp pieces of rice jab you. I don't understand why the rice wasn't taken out of the hull so it would stay in the animal and not hurt you. Luckily my kiddo isn't super young so he understands what's going on and can simply pull out the pokey pieces and toss them in the garbage. I would NOT gift this to a young child though. Really too bad.
