Consumer Reports is urging parents to stop using Millie Moon diapers after more than 600 reports of baby skin rashes, according to USA Today. The nonprofit asked for a recall on October 16, the outlet reports.
The reports were made to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, USA Today reports. More than 300 of them came in the past month. Parents describe redness, rashes, burning and bleeding, the outlet reports. Many said their babies needed trips to the emergency room.
Many parents said they had used the diapers for years with no trouble, USA Today reports. Then their babies got rashes after the family opened a new box, the outlet reports.
Millie Moon says complaints come from less than 0.1% of the diapers it has sold, USA Today reports. The company says six independent labs tested the diapers. It says they passed every test, and no product-related cause was found.
The company says it has not changed the materials, its suppliers or how the diapers are made, the outlet reports. It says the only change was in February, when the printed design on the outside began to go farther up the diaper.
The safety agency said it could not comment, USA Today reports. Millie Moon was founded in 2021, the outlet reports. In 2025 it launched potty training pants with Ms. Rachel, sold only at Target.
