Pampers Diaper Rash Reports Lead to Investigation of Dry Max Products

Complaints of severe diaper rash from Pampers “Dry Max” diapers, which are a newer and thinner type of the popular diapers, has sparked a federal investigation into whether problems with the diapers are causing chemical burns on babies. 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) began a probe this week after a growing number of parents expressed concern over potential side effects of Pampers Swaddlers and Cruisers diapers employing “Dry Max” technology. The new diapers, released in March, are thinner than previous versions.

CPSC officials say they have received a handful of reports from parents who say their children suffered persistent and severe rashes after wearing the diapers, including blisters similar to those caused by chemical burns.

Officials at Proctor & Gamble have dismissed concerns over Pampers problems, calling the claims that the diapers cause severe rashes “completely false.” The company says that the severe Pampers diaper rash complaints are being perpetuated by a small group of parents who are angry at the changes they made to their diapers. The company says the spread of the rumors have been helped by the use of social media.

“We have comprehensively and thoroughly investigated these and other claims and have found no evidence whatsoever that the reported conditions were in any way caused by materials in our product,” said Pampers Vice President Jodi Allen in a press release issued on Thursday. “Independent physicians, highly respected in the field, have analyzed our data and have confirmed our conclusions.”

Allen said Proctor & Gamble has received less than two complaints for every one million diapers sold, which she says is typical for a diaper. Allen said that the company has turned over all of its findings with the CPSC.

The commission is urging parents who have experienced problems to contact them immediately. Parents can contact the CPSC at https://www.cpsc.gov/cgibin/incident.aspx.

    My son is 3 weeks old and in the hospital we were using pampers but when we came home we used luvs diapers and in the first hour he developedva blistered rash and screamed and cried. We tok him to the Dr. And were advised to stop using the luvs. He is since healing but still has some awful marks and peeling from the blisters. Help, what should I do.

Procter and Gamble isn't staying up at night with a crying child and a parent who can't do anything about it but hope it goes away soon. The stores selling this product and the manufacture need to be sued! We changed from the diaper a few days ago and only a few of the sores remain and the rash is all but gone. No studies needed here, its the diaper! Pampers needs to do the right thing and pull the product!

Mind you, I was using the kirklands from about size 3-4 and intermittently used the pampers baby dry ever since he was out of the new baby swaddlers. I started using the pampers exclusively just over the past 6 weeks and I started to notice raw bottom and rashes and bumps so I did what you are suppose to do and change more frequently, load up on barrier cream and thorough cleanse the area often. I have also tried changing his diet to see if that helps, but in the past 5-6 weeks since starting on the dryMax cruisers size5 and the baby dry at night, his entire bottom is red (like a BAD sun burn) and his genitals have been raw and blistering! I load him up with extra strength diaper cream and have been using the nystatin for 3 weeks thinking it was a "yeast infection" but it isn't getting better. He is normally a very happy baby and loves diaper change time, but lately its been just horrible. Screaming in pain, balling his eyes out when he is sitting in his car seat or being held when his bottom is being touched. I didn't have this problem when I was using the kirkland diapers (they just didn't keep the poop in that well) but there was a big sale on Pampers a couple months ago so I stocked up. What do I do with all the boxes of diapers now?! I am going to get a package of Huggies on the way home and switch him right away and see if that helps. My poor poor baby--it just breaks my heart! I use to just love the pampers new baby diapers cuz it was so soft and just stuck with the brand thinking that these issues I heard about on the news were just an overreaction. But I seriously have my doubts now. I have my son on a very healthly organic diet and everything he eats is homemade and no preservatives and products are paraben free, hypoallergic and non-fraganced. I am extremely upset that P&G still maintains that their "new technology diapers aren't an issue!

After all, they worked well for my first child four years ago. She hardly ever had any diaper rash, and certainly never one this bad. I couldn't understand why my new baby had one, especially at such a young age. I've been to the pediatrician's office twice for it already, changed creams three times, and used 3 different medications. Still no change. I just heard about this issue today, and I immediately went out and bought Huggies. After reading the other posts here, I am totally confident that this rash will clear up in a matter of days, without all the prescriptions I paid for. As everyone else has said, Shame on you, Pampers!!!!! There is more to business than the bottom line. How about creating a product that is effective AND safe? Oh yeah, and make sure it's safe BEFORE you put it on the market. What a concept.....

She again came down with this (rash) a week ago she again got this red god aweful looking rash that looks as if she has been doused with some sort of chemical from just short of her navel to her lower back, around her inner thighs.

I started asking around for suggestions and someone who saw I was using Pampers mentioned their GChildren can not use them. I was a bit skeptical, but I was desperate as this has been going on all month of July. I washed her well, and went out and picked up some huggies in Sunday. She stopped itching/dragging Sunday night and as of today, the rash that was around her VG is now gone! THEN, I saw the info on the chemical burns on Human Babies! Wow, is all I can say...something is going on with these diapers if it even bothers a dog!

My daughter, who is 17 months and rarely has a diaper rash, began using the Dry Max diapers. Within about 3 days, she developed a horrible rash, which we thought was a heat rash...until it began to blister. Then I began hearing about the Dry Max diapers causing a similar rash on many other children and I stopped using the diapers immediately. Within 7-10 days, her rash (or burn) was cleared up. I called Pampers to report the problem and they asked many questions. Told me the Health and Safety Board would contact me with more questions and offered me coupons. I refused the coupons, telling the lady on the phone that I had since switched to Huggies diapers. Not one problem with Huggies! I will add, though, that Pampers wipes are the best! :) Will continue to use those always!

    Yes I agreed with every one here. I watch my grandaughter wild my daughter went away with her husband, and I both the new dry max diapers. I can tell you that she did not have a rash when she came over . This product MUST BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET! and be corrected.

I had already heard a bit about the Pamper's issue so within 24 hours we have Huggies on him now. Today when I was in Walmart another mom told me she was in the exact same boat. Coincidence? I don't think so, Pampers. Shame on you.

I thought it was a heat rash so I took him to the doctor and she said the only thing that explains it was the diapers because it was only where the diapers touch. She also said it was the new liners in them that is probably causing the problem - which I assume is where the Dry Max is. My poor little guy has been miserable for a week and a half because they will not admit to any wrong - Shame on Pampers. I have turned in a complaint to the CPSC. They need to fix this problem before someone gets really hurt and anything I can do to help make them fix it - I will do (legally of course) :-)

My mother inlaw was putting a diaper 2 sizes smaller than what her mother used on my niece and it leaked everytime she peed. I tried all sorts of brands and so far pampers are the best. My daughters private are is perfect and she wears them everyday and I use Balmex on her everytime I change her. The only complaint I have is that they bunch up a little in my daughters closes because even though they are thin they seem a little big in the butt area.

Tonight is when I decided to investigate my assumptions after I softly tried changing my sons last Pampers diaper and after his screaming and crying shook his head and said mommy no. Now how can you just go on after hearing that. It broke my heart. At the beginning of all this I was ate up in guilt thinking o my I'm not changing his diaper enough and my fiance coming home to lecture me about how to properly change his diaper. Its all too much and I'm sick of not doing the little part I can do to prevent other mothers to feel what I felt tonight. Not to mention there innocent children. Also I did to notice my son constantly picking at his diaper and doing an itchy feely type thing throughout his rash days. Any ways thanks so much for your time and Beware of the Pampers!

We went to the Dr.and im sure as many of you have experienced as well, they don't have the answer. Could be diet, soap, detergent. But none of these things have changed at all. So they tell me to use Beaurdeax Butt Cream, (i had already tried Desitin Creamy and Clear, Vaseline and Aquaphor. After going through about 2 tubes a week for 2 weeks i took her back to the Dr. and this time they said that it could be an allergic reaction to the diapers , the dye in the elastic or the diapers themselves. so i used the last few Pampers we had and switched to walgreens brand. The "rash" is very slowly but surely improving. Then my mom tells me to look up the report that she saw on the news. WOW.. i will say that this made soooo much sense. Her "rash" is the worst were the elastic band goes around her leg. And i cant really say that its just a "rash" ... besides the rash , on each leg were that elastic touches its a huge silver dollar size puffy blister , when i can get it to "dry out" a bit , skin actually peels off of this spot like a sunburn. We have had countless nights of no sleep due to her crying, itching, digging and just being plain miserable. It is so hard to be mommy and KNOW they are miserable but there is nothing you can do.Tears your heart out. :( and then to see the comment that Pampers made that its a small group of parents mad that they changed their product..let me just say if i had a way to find the number for whom ever it was that thought that was a good idea to make that statement...... and to top it off, i actually did call Pampers yesterday, before even READING that comment, to tell them that we too may be having a bad reaction to the diapers, they took all my information, listened to my complaint and concern and then told me that it was only one or two people who have had a complaint about this besides myself and then proceeded to tell me " well this is what we are going to do.. we are going to send you a coupon for a jumbo pack of diapers and if you have any other questions or comments please give us a call" REALLY? im calling to tell you that your diapers have caused my baby almost 2 months of suffering and your going to give me a COUPON? first off i was not calling to try to get anything other than some answers, and i hardly think that a damn coupon for the product im complaining about justifies anything..

I have never had an issue with Pampers until approximately a month and a half to two months ago. My 16 month old who is still in diapers had never had a diaper rash before, ever. Until now. I had used the "Baby Dry" diapers on her until about two months ago when I switched to the Pampers with Dry Max, and within days, she had developed a diaper rash. My husband and I both found it very strange but couldn't figure out what was going on. Every diaper cream out there and WEEKS later it still had not cleared up, and by this time, she literally had bleeding blisters all over her bottom that would not go away. It NEVER occurred to me that the diapers were doing this, especially since I had used Pampers for three years, otherwise I would had stopped using them right away. I literally couldn't even wipe her bottom without her screaming. Just last week I was on my Yahoo home page and saw the article about the Pampers Dry Max diapers doing this to thousands of babies. This is UNNACEPTABLE. I immediately went and boxed up the rest of the diapers and returned them to the Target store where I bought them and got my $28 bucks back. There is no way I was going to let them sit there after all the pain and suffering my daughter went through for weeks, and be out the almost $30, not to mention everything else we went through. I explained to the lady in customer service what is going on and demanded my money back. I bought a package of Huggies Naturals that night, and within two days, the "rash/burns/blisters" had immensly cleared up, it was like a night and day difference from just a day and a half before. It does appear that she may actually have scars from this as it has started to scab over. She still winces when I wipe her. I cannot believe P&G is saying this is the parent's faults!!! This is NOT a coincidence. I am telling everyone I know, especially those with babies/children in diapers about this and reccomending anyone using Pampers to stop.

As soon as I switched with in a couple of days the BURN was cleared up. My poor son had to endure months of this, becauase I too thought it was a rash or maybe even exzema. It wasn’t it was due solely to this Dry Max diaper. Parents DO NOT use this diaper. It will happen to your child, and you don’t want to have to watch them go through the same thing I had to with my son. It’s horrible.

We have for the last couple of days been putting her in her play pen with lots of towels and a bare bottom to play for as long as she will. This does help; however, as soon as a Pampers goes back on her, it gets worse. I have seen a lot of diaper "rashes" in my lifetime, but nothing like this. It is the worst thing I have ever seen on a small baby, and I find it shameful that Pampers won't accept the input of good parents. Maybe not all children will have a reaction to this ingredient, but it appears enough are that something should be done. My granddaughter has been lathargic and sleeping way too many hours a day. of course, as soon as we heard about the Pamper crisis, we immediately bought different diapers yesterday and are waiting to see a dramatic improvement. We are hoping this leaves no permanent scars, as the burns were quite extensive and deep.

That being said, it makes me incredibly angry that Pampers is saying that these new complaints of rash are "being perpetuated by a small group of parents who are angry at the changes they made to their diapers." We were not happy when the diapers started leaking constantly (we were changing clothes two to three times a day with the new dry max Pampers), but I didn't think to link the blister like rash to the new diaper. We tried everything from removing foods, stopped introducing new foods, oodles of diaper rash creams, etc. In addition, we had to try other diapers due to the leaking issue. After about a day in a different diaper the rash started to disappear. But we had leakage issues with other diapers and would go back to Pampers, and surprise, the rash would return. It wasn't until the third time this happened that I made the link between the two. So we're pretty pissed off that Pampers is saying it's a select angry group, because we were all for the new dry max. Huggies leaves strange and creepy gel "crumbs" all over (even with two changes in an hour - I'm not letting her sit in urine at all and it still happens with the Huggies), Luvs are crappy, and the generic brands leak faster than anything. We're are not thrilled to have to had made the switch to organic diapers that are 11 cents more per diaper after Pampers working for 9 months. This company needs to get off their high horse and fess up to the fact that it isn't a group upset about the new diapers, but in fact a large group of parents who have seen terrible rashes disappear a day or two after switching brands, and many of us didn't want to switch brands.

I have a screaming 2 yr old and 9 month old plus a screaming husband who thinks I am not changing my childrens diapers. I am willing to bet you can walk into every employee's home and investor of P & G and you won't find their children have any pamper products !!! I hope selling out the future was worth the money/greed and may God have mercy on their soul. If they will sacrifice innocent babies I wonder what other harmful chemicals are in the rest of their products that are in my house? I won't buy their products after this issue they should atleast put on their big boy/girl pants and own up to their responsibiltiy.

    My 14 month son starting clawing his butt. I knew he was aggravated so I took him to the doctor in April. He had a severe rash on his butt and front of his stomach. The doctor gave me a prescription for hydrocortisone. I didn't even think it was the new Dry Max diapers because we have always used Pampers. I switched to Huggies and things are looking better. Go figure!

The diapers were great and never posed any problems until they first removed the liner (those leaked overnight) and then went to this Drymax. She NEVER had diaper rash before these Drymax diapers. And like the other reports, It's much more than diaper rash - burns is more accurate. She, too, had blood curdling screaming and crying episodes like I was torturing her when I would change her diaper or put her in the tub. No matter how much ointment was used it would not clear up at all. I believe that she will even have a few scars from her deeply embedded sores. It is totally unacceptable for a company to continue to maket these diapers and not to heed so many complaints from their customers. Pamper's were the best diaper on the market (at least for my daughter) before this. When they still had liners they were soft (not stiff like cardboard), they didn't leak, they didn't sag to their knees (which makes then leak) and most certainly didn't burn our children. If it ain't broke, don't fix it (or ruin it in this case!!) Why change what works. Money, I guess.

Not to mention I bought two cases at Sam's for almost $80! Now I have to toss all of them out. We tried to call Pampers to ask what we should do and there isn't an option to talk to anyone...it just disconects.

I tried all types of diaper rash creams, even my trusty cure all Triple Paste Ointment. So I thought it was a yeast infection since it wasn't clearing, so I then tried a prescription her doctor had given her. Poor thing screamed becuase it burned so bad, so I crossed a yeast infection. The only of thing I could think of were the new diapers. So after her bath I put her in one of her brother's size 5 huggies (way too big) frosted her cupcake (as her doctor calls it) with the triple paste ointment..and this morning she was perfectly fine. Is so sad that this diaper has hit the shelve and our little ones have to suffer. I hope they are removed immediately!!

  • KarenMay 17, 2010 at 3:46 am

    My daughter has developed an uncontrollable itch that she scratches so hard that she makes herself bleed. The rash is along the elastic line of the diapers. This has developed over the past few months and we have also always been loyal pampers users. In fact, I just bought a case two days ago, I'm returning it in the morning! Anyone else have a similar experience with uncontrollable itching?

  • CrystalMay 17, 2010 at 3:35 am

    OK! I fully believe that these diapers are causing the rashes... I have had trouble before with Pampers, the scent in them caused both my children to have irritated diaper areas! BUT to those of you who tried switching diets and creams and wipes... WTF? The diaper is the closest thing to your child beside their clothing, so why would you not switch the diapers FIRST???? I mean Hello!!!

I couldn’t figure out what the problem was, I was not using different soap to bath her, her diet was the same. I thought I was not changing her enough so I changed her more. I put cream on every time I changed her. When this did not help I was trying to think of what I did change. The only change was the new drymax diaper size 3. After a few weeks of this and using special cream. I decided to switch diapers and the rash cleared up in a few days. I know that pampers says that this is not a problem but why all of a sudden did this happen.

I have also lodged my complaint with the consumer product site. The company needs to take responsibility for the harm and pain they have caused these babies. I for one, am LIVID!

  • melissaMay 15, 2010 at 10:22 pm

    My daughter has NEVER had diaper rash. She has bloody, blistering rash on her inner thigh after wearing these twice. And Pampers hung up on me when I just called them. That seems suspect if not insulting/bordering on infuriating. I just want to know what I can do to help my daughter.

  • NicoleMay 15, 2010 at 4:55 pm

    We most definitely have a correlation with the pampers dry max and a diaper rash worse than I have ever seen. I can't believe P & G would let this continue like this. I will keep the integrity of this company in mind in my future purchases of all the products they make, not just diapers.

  • CatrinaMay 15, 2010 at 3:48 am

    I have used Luvs diapers with both of my kids. I am a loyal consumer of Luvs, because they work better than every other brand I've tried. They are cheap, do not leak and my kids have never had diaper rash with them. I recommend them to anyone looking for a different brand to try.

I get it, they are a large company and it is all about money.......how much would it cost to recall all of these diapers compared to how many people are actually affected and have a real problem with the product, but along the way P&G need to step up to the plate and accept responsibility for their errors and to correct the problem or make everyone aware that their might! be a problem with these types of diapers. At least make people aware that there is a small possibility that this could happen with your child and give you the opportunity to make the choice if they really do want to continue to support P&G by buying this product or to switch without wasting all their hard earned money trying to figure out the problem through pricey creams and ointments. Grow up P&G, have you been in the buisness that long you have lost all your sense of your morals and responsibility to your loyal consumer, who actually help you stay rich. Shame on you-by the way I hope you aren't making the same mistake all of us are by putting your children in pampers.

    We were loyal to Pampers for our three kids until our daughter broke out in a diaper rash that caused her severe pain and itching. A few days later her brother had the same rash all from the dri-max pampers. Two antibiotics later and huggies diapers they are on the mend. I will never spend another dime on pampers.

We took her to the doctor and got creams, used countless at home creams, oatmeal baths, everything we could think of. It never got any better.

Finally we switched brands, going to huggies, and the rash eventually started going away. She has no allergies, doesn't have sensitive skin, never had a problem until these diapers. in fact we cut out everything out except just formula, even though she had been eating solids.

Perhaps that is because parents dealing with this horrible rash aren't aware of the cause, and odn't know to complain to P&G. Well, now that I know, I WANT TO BE COUNTED! My son has been bleeding, oozing, crying, screamming for 3 weeks with a rash. We removed items from his diet, removed items from my diet (he still breastfeeds), tried different wipes, bought pediatrician-suggested pricey cream, soaked and rinsed his rear daily, and after all that, only managed to change the open bleeding wounds to open oozing wounds. The idea that "a small group of parents" are complaining because "they are mad about changes" is ridiculous. I have been a loyal user and recommender of Pampers for 14 months. If they made a positive change, that would not annoy me to the point of making something like this up. What is really despicable, however, is that with P&G downplaying the truth, parents who are dealing with this rash may not hear about the possible solution of changing diaper brand and therefore their children will continue to have this pain unneccesarily. P&G, ignore what your PR and lawyers tell you, and do the right thing. Tell parents using your current diapers to stop!
