No Pampers Recall Yet - Dry Max Diapers Under Scrutiny

Proctor and Gamble is reeling, much like many other American companies during today’s stock market crash, and spirits will sag further yet if there is a Pampers recall. Parents don’t care quite as much about whether somebody on Wall Street made a typo when recording a large Proctor and Gamble trade (sending investors scrambling for installment payday loans) as they do about whether Pampers Dry Max diapers are causing diaper rash.

Pampers recall within the works

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is currently investigating Proctor and Gamble's Pampers Dry Max Diapers. There have been complaints of chemical burns around the children's pelvic area as well as rashes. Pampers has dismissed the investigation so far, saying that “It’s one severe rash complaint for each 6 million diaper changes”. As of now, there is no Pampers recall in effect. That said, consumers who are concerned about the safety of Dry Max diapers are urged to contact the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission toll-free at (800) 638-2772.

A mom’s tale of Pampers woe

Caroline of Spartanburg, South Carolina, is one of a long list of moms who have had recent problems with Pampers diapers. She used Pampers for a couple years until her 22 month old and 5 month old began to show heavy rashes. After she tried numerous creams and saw her children totally change (pain does that), Caroline was fed up. Once the rashes took a turn for the worse and became what she describes as “huge, scabby blisters,” she found that many other parents had logged complaints online about Pampers diapers. Caroline returned what she had to Sam’s Club and exchanged for a different brand. Numerous parents, just like her, took comparable precautions according to the Consumer Affairs website, which leads to speculation as to whether there are scores a lot more parents whose children are suffering under what could very easily warrant a Pampers recall.
