Munchkin (company)

In 1991, Dunn, surprised at the lack of creative design in the infant and toddler category, founded Munchkin with $2.5 million.[1][2][3] The company has 220 patents, including one for its Miracle 360 sippy cup, and has manufactured more than 600 products.[4][5] Dunn serves as the lead inventor for many of the company's products.[1][6]

In 2010, Munchkin acquired Lindam, a safety brand for babies.[7]

In 2014, Munchkin acquired Brica, a travel accessories brand for babies and toddlers.[8]

In 2016, Munchkin acquired Milkmakers, a manufacturer of lactogenic cookies and teas.[9]

Munchkin manufactures Grass Fed, an infant formula made with milk from grass-fed cows.[10]

In 2015, Dunn pledged to donate $1 million to The Whale Sanctuary Project to help build a coastal ocean sanctuary for captive orcas after watching the documentary Blackfish.[11] In 2018, Munchkin partnered with the International Fund for Animal Welfare by featuring at-risk or endangered animals, like the African elephant or red fox, on a line of its Miracle Cups to raise awareness about conservation and animal rights.[12]

Munchkin is a sponsor of The Seedling Project and plants a tree for every diaper pail sold. As of February 2019, more than 400,000 trees had been planted, via Trees for the Future.[13] The company also supports Children's Hospital Los Angeles and Baby2Baby.[14]
