Important Pampers Dry Max Diaper Recall Update

Image via WikipediaMy sister mentioned a possible diaper recall when my baby daughter got a chemical burn on her back from Pampers Dry Max diapers. My sister wasn't sure of the diaper brand, and to be honest, I thought that the weird rash on my daughter's back would disappear after a day. It has been a week, and Beudreaux's Butt Paste has only slightly alleviated the bizarre rash.

I just got off the phone with Proctor & Gamble. Yes, officially there have been no indications that the Pampers Diaper Max diapers have any specific ingredient (but we all know how reliable the government is in protecting our children from corporations...Salmonella in your spinach or Children's Tylenol anyone?). However, there is a five-inch patch of skin peeled from my daughter's back (above the diaper area where the waistband would be), and some scabby looking things. No matter what the pleasant (if somewhat flustered) woman on the phone from Proctor & Gamble stated, my baby does not have a diaper rash.


(PS Dear Proctor & Gamble, please do not think for one instant that you can convince America's moms that a chemical burn is a diaper rash. No diaper rash on my baby has ever peeled off a layer of skin.)

To be honest, we have used Pampers before, with no problem. In fact, she had worn several diapers from the same Pampers box with no obvious rash (mixed with Huggies diapers). The rash did not happen until last week when I ran out of Huggies and started to use Pampers Dry Max only. The rash started on the same day. Maybe it was only the one box? Or maybe, like many parents have indicated, the new Pampers Dry Max formula has a questionable ingredient in it. Maybe the heat activated the bizarre ingredient in the Pampers Dry Max diapers, or maybe, as the Proctor & Gamble representative stated, "Maybe there is something in the diaper that your baby has a sensitivity to."

In any case, my daughter is not alone. And I am not buying Pampers, ever again, for my child. How do I know if any other possible Pampers chemicals in their recently changed formula will hurt my baby? I am not willing to take that chance.

What can you do?

1) Switch diapers IMMEDIATELY.

2) Call your pediatrician for medical advice.

3) Call Proctor and Gamble and complain.

4) Call the US. Products and Safety Commission and file a report.


Please share if your child has had any reactions to Pampers Dry Max diapers.
