2026-06-23 – A severe chemical burn hazard involving Millie Moon diapers has been reported to the CPSC SaferProducts database. The incident, involving a manufacturing defect, caused skin peeling and blisters on a 7-week-old infant. The manufacturer, Zuru Inc., sold the product at Target. Product DetailsBrand Name: Millie Moon Incident OverviewAccording to a report filed on April 14, 2026, with the CPSC SaferProducts database (Report ID 6069727), a parent reported that their 7-week-old infant developed a severe rash after being switched to a larger size of Millie Moon diapers. The rash progressed to skin peeling and blisters, requiring two doctor visits before the cause was identified as the diapers. The parent noted that after switching to a different brand two weeks prior, the infant's skin was still clearing up, indicating the severity of the chemical burn. The product was used as intended, and the defect appears to be a manufacturing issue that led to chemical exposure. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: Chemical burns from diaper materials can cause rapid skin irritation, redness, peeling, and blistering. In infants, the thin skin and sensitive areas increase the risk of deep tissue damage from prolonged exposure to irritants or caustic substances. Long-Term Risks: Repeated or prolonged exposure may lead to chronic dermatitis, scarring, or secondary infections. Infants are particularly vulnerable to lasting skin damage and systemic effects if chemicals are absorbed. Who Might Be Affected: The primary users—infants and toddlers—are most at risk. Caregivers handling the diapers may also experience contact dermatitis. Warning Signs: Symptoms include sudden rash, redness, swelling, blistering, or skin peeling in the diaper area, especially after switching to a new product or size. Immediate removal and medical evaluation are recommended. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Discontinue use of the affected diapers and switch to a different brand to prevent further exposure. Seek Medical Attention: If you or your child experiences skin irritation, blistering, or peeling, consult a healthcare provider promptly. Document the visit and any diagnoses. Preserve the Product: Keep the remaining diapers and packaging intact. They may serve as evidence if you pursue a claim. Document the Incident: Take photographs of the injury, the product, and any receipts. Keep a record of medical expenses and dates. Report to the CPSC: File a report at SaferProducts.gov to alert regulators and help prevent future incidents. Check for Recalls: Monitor CPSC.gov for any official recall or safety notice regarding Millie Moon diapers.
