My sister wrote to me that the company makes 800,000 of these a year. There are about 785,000 French babies per year, so the rest go to lucky "foreign" babies.
A few people have asked me if the paint is safe for a baby to chew and suck on. I have no idea, but this toy has been around for 50 years. I see a few "Sophies" around with no spots left, oh well.
You can get this at Amazon, in case you were wondering.
