Product Details

Incident Report Number: 5973460

Incident Overview

According to a report filed on March 26, 2026, a consumer purchased size 6 Millie Moon diapers from Target for her 17-month-old daughter. The child developed a severe rash and burn in the diaper area, causing significant pain. The parent noted a strong chemical smell when changing the diaper one morning, which coincided with the onset of the skin reaction.

The incident report indicates that the diaper was used as intended, and the child had no prior history of similar reactions. The parent sought first aid from a non-medical professional, reflecting the severity of the skin damage. The presence of a chemical odor suggests a possible manufacturing defect involving residual chemicals or improper processing of the diaper materials.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: Chemicals in diapers, such as residual manufacturing agents or adhesives, can cause contact dermatitis or chemical burns upon contact with sensitive skin. The reported rash and burn indicate a strong irritant or corrosive substance, which can lead to pain, blistering, and skin breakdown.

Long-Term Risks: Repeated or prolonged exposure to chemical irritants may lead to chronic skin conditions, including allergic contact dermatitis or hyperpigmentation. In severe cases, chemical burns can increase the risk of infection and scarring.

Who Might Be Affected: Infants and toddlers are particularly vulnerable due to their thinner, more permeable skin and the prolonged contact time with diapers. Children with pre-existing skin conditions or sensitivities may be at higher risk.

Warning Signs: Parents should be alert to unusual odors from diapers, such as chemical or strong synthetic smells. Redness, rash, blistering, or signs of pain during diaper changes may indicate a chemical reaction and warrant immediate discontinuation of the product.
