Diapers Causing Chemical Burns
Dry Max Diapers Under Scrutiny – No Pampers Recall Yet
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 big Proctor and Gamble trade (sending investors scrambling for emergency cash loans) as they do about whether Pampers Dry Max diapers are causing diaper rash.
A Pampers recall may be in the works
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is currently investigating Proctor and Gamble‘s Pampers Dry Max Diapers. There are complaints that the diapers are causing rashes as well as chemical burns around children’s pelvic areas. Pampers has dismissed the Dry Max investigation so far, claiming that "It's one severe rash complaint for every 6 million diaper changes". Right now, there is no Pampers recall in effect. However, 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. Caroline was fed up after going through many creams and near total personality transformations with her kids (paid does that to a person). Once the rashes had taken a turn for the worse and became what she describes as "huge, scabby blisters," she discovered that many other parents had complaints about Pampers diapers. Caroline went to Sam’s Club and got different brands of diapers. Many parents, just like her, took similar precautions according to the Consumer Affairs website, which leads to speculation as to whether there are scores more parents whose children are suffering under what could very easily warrant a Pampers recall.
