2026-06-05 – A consumer has reported a chemical burn injury to an infant after using Millie Moon diapers, according to a complaint filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's SaferProducts.gov database. The incident, which occurred on May 15, 2026, involved a product manufactured by Zuru Inc. and was classified by the CPSC as involving a chemical defect and a chemical burn hazard. Product DetailsBrand Name: Millie Moon Incident OverviewAccording to the incident report filed on SaferProducts.gov (Report ID 6058473), the consumer reported that a baby sustained a chemical burn after using Millie Moon diapers. The incident occurred on May 15, 2026, and the child received first aid from a non-medical professional. The report does not specify the exact circumstances leading to the exposure, but the hazard is described as a chemical burn resulting from a chemical defect in the product. The consumer stated: "Chemical burn on my baby from using diapers from Millie moon." The product was reportedly purchased at Walmart and Target. No further details about the specific diaper batch or the nature of the chemical exposure were provided in the report. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: Chemical burns occur when the skin is exposed to an irritating or corrosive substance. In this case, the diaper may have contained a chemical that, upon contact with the baby's skin, caused tissue damage. Immediate effects can include redness, blistering, and pain. Long-Term Risks: Repeated or prolonged exposure to the same chemical could lead to chronic skin conditions, scarring, or increased sensitivity. Infants are particularly vulnerable due to their thinner skin and higher surface-area-to-body-weight ratio. Who Might Be Affected: The primary user of the product—the infant—is at risk. Caregivers handling the diapers could also be exposed if the chemical transfers to their hands or other surfaces. Warning Signs: Parents should watch for signs of irritation such as redness, rash, or discomfort in the diaper area that does not resolve with normal diaper changes. If a diaper appears to have an unusual smell, discoloration, or residue, it should be removed and the area washed immediately. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: If you have Millie Moon diapers that appear to cause skin irritation or burns, discontinue use and switch to an alternative brand. Preserve the Product: Keep the remaining diapers, packaging, and any receipts. These items may be important for investigating the cause of the incident. Document the Incident: Take photographs of the injury and the product. Write down the date of the incident, the batch or lot number if available, and a description of what happened. Seek Medical Attention: If your child experiences a burn or severe skin reaction, seek medical care. Even if the injury appears minor, a healthcare professional can assess the damage and provide appropriate treatment.
