When Ty started using the new 5thgeneration Beanie Baby swing tags in 1998, some of the tags had spellingerrors. On the front of the swing tag (inside the yellow star),"ORIGINAL" was misspelled "ORIGIINAL" and on the back ofthe swing tag, "Surface" was misspelled "Suface".

The spelling errors were eventuallycorrected, and in the meantime, Ty placed a sticker on the back of the swingtags with the correct spelling "Surface Wash."

This spelling error was made on early 5thgeneration swing tags attached to Curly, Blackie, Ears, Floppity, Hippity,Hoppity, Peace, Roary, Squealer, Tuffy and Valentino.
