Redesign unrealistic 'DesignaFriend' dolls

The Issue

I am petitioning to get the company Chad Valley (owned by Home Retail Group) to redesign their product 'DesignaFriend'. I feel that this is an important cause as the dolls currently portray an unhealthy and unrealistic body image. The dolls have thigh gaps and horrifyingly thin legs - one even has legs than the other dolls' arms. This could possibly cause harmful eating habits and unhealthy body aspirations in children at a young age. The effects of this may lead to eating disorders and can be fatal. Please sign my petition if you share my view and hopefully we can help to change what is portrayed as "beautiful". Thank you - Roisin Ennis
