Severity Type ID: 8

Incident Overview

According to a report filed with the CPSC on May 12, 2026, a consumer purchased a 96-count package of Millie Moon size 2 diapers from Target. The consumer had previously used the product without any issues. The first sleeve of diapers was used without incident. However, when the second sleeve was opened, a strong chemical odor was detected.

Several diapers from the second sleeve were used on a 7-week-old infant. Within hours, the baby's rear end developed a blistered rash. The consumer discontinued use of the diapers and switched to another brand. Prescribed ointment was applied to the affected area. After switching brands, the blistering did not recur. The incident was seen by a medical professional, indicating the severity of the reaction.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The strong chemical odor and rapid onset of blistering suggest the presence of a chemical irritant or allergen. Contact dermatitis with blistering can cause significant pain and increase the risk of secondary infection, especially in infants with sensitive skin.

Long-Term Risks: Repeated exposure to certain chemical residues may lead to sensitization, where the immune system becomes increasingly reactive. This could result in chronic skin conditions or allergic reactions upon future exposure to similar substances.

Who Might Be Affected: Infants and young children are most vulnerable due to their thinner, more permeable skin and developing immune systems. Caregivers handling the diapers may also experience skin irritation.

Warning Signs: A strong chemical odor emanating from the product is a clear warning sign of potential contamination. Any unusual smell should prompt immediate discontinuation of use.
