No Pampers Recall Yet, Even with Dry Max Diapers Under Scrutiny

Proctor and Gamble is reeling, much like many other American companies during today’s stock market crash, and spirits will sag further yet if there is a Pampers recall. Parents don’t care quite as much about whether somebody on Wall Street made a typo when recording a big Proctor and Gamble trade (sending investors scrambling for no fax payday loans) as they do about whether Pampers Dry Max diapers are causing diaper rash.

Pampers recall within the works

Proctor and Gamble's Pampers Dry Max Diapers are, by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, under investigation. Apparently, there have been some parental complaints that Dry Max has been causing not only diaper rashes, but chemical burns around children’s pelvic areas. Pampers has dismissed the investigation so far, saying that “It’s one severe rash complaint for each 6 million diaper changes”. At this writing, there is no Pampers recall in effect. That said, consumers who are concerned about the safety of Dry Max diapers are urged to contact the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission toll-free at (800) 638-2772.

A mom and her Papers woe tale

Caroline of Spartanburg, South Carolina, is just one on a long list of moms who have had recent difficulties with Pampers diapers. She had been using Pampers for a couple of years without trouble, until her 22-month-old and 5-month-old started to show heavy rashes. After she tried numerous creams and saw her kids completely change (pain does that), Caroline was fed up. Once the rashes took a turn for the worse and became what she describes as “huge, scabby blisters,” she found that numerous other parents had logged complaints online about Pampers diapers. Caroline went to Sam's Club and got different brands of diapers. Many parents took comparable precautions as outlined by the Consumer Affairs website, which leads to speculation as to whether you will find scores a lot more parents whose children are suffering under what could very easily warrant a Pampers recall.
