## **"PINK" and "RED" Eye Defect**

This doll can commonly be seen with eyes varying in either shades of pink or red. Eyes that were originally blue will turn lavender to dark pink, while eyes that were originally brown will turn red. This coloring is *not* natural to the doll (i.e. it is not the doll's *original* eye color); this is actually the result of **a defect in the artificial glass that covers the actual eye itself**. This defect is more pronounced in dolls subjected to excessive temperature, improper doll storage, and/or too much sun exposure. Unfortunately, these "pink" and "red" doll eyes are *irreparable*; dolls with eyes such as these will require a new set of eyes.
