A week after a toy company pulled its AI-powered teddy bear off the market due to child safety concerns, the company has returned its dystopian stuffed animal to virtual shelves. FoloToy, which sells a stuffed toy named “Kumma,” says that it has made safety upgrades to the toy and that it is once again ready for playtime.
“After a full week of rigorous review, testing, and reinforcement of our safety modules, we have begun gradually restoring product sales,” the company said in a statement shared on social media Monday. “As global attention on AI toy safety continues to rise, we believe that transparency, responsibility, and continuous improvement are essential. FoloToy remains firmly committed to building safe, age-appropriate AI companions for children and families worldwide.”
