Along with Samantha and Molly, Kirsten was one of the three American Girls that launched the collection in 1986. Felicity was the first doll added to the American Girl collection in 1991. In 2002, Felicity's collection began to be phased out by the Pleasant Company. Addy joined the American Girl collection in 1993, and was the second girl to be introduced after the series was launched in 1986.
The Kirsten doll you bought is probably safe. American Girl dolls manufactured under the Pleasant Company (prior to the 1998 aquisition) were manufactured by Gotz Doll Company. The dolls were manufactured in West Germany and later Hungary. There was also a Gotz plant in NY in the late 80's, 90's. Gotz currently prides itself on making phthalate free vinyl dolls.
