Milford mother reports chemical burn from Millie Moon diapers

Incident Overview

A Milford mother, identified as Kroop, says her 6-month-old daughter, Addison, suffered what she believes was a chemical burn after wearing Millie Moon diapers.

• After a diaper change, Addison reportedly became extremely fussy and screamed shortly afterward.
• Kroop noticed the area where the diaper contacted her was “bright red,” looking like a sunburn rather than a typical diaper rash.
• Since the condition was still concerning later that night, Kroop contacted a pediatrician, who diagnosed a chemical burn.

Online Follow-Up

Kroop shared her situation and a photo online. Another parent messaged her, saying they had also experienced a chemical burn after using Millie Moon diapers.

After switching to other brands (including Pampers Baby Dry), Kroop said the redness improved and eventually went away.

Criticism of Millie Moon’s Response

Kroop criticized Millie Moon’s response, saying the company offered a Target gift card but indicated it could do little else.

Reported Widespread Issue

Kroop argues the problem is widespread. She reviewed Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) complaints and found:

• 368 reports involving Millie Moon diapers
• More than 360 filed within the last six months
• Reports that reportedly describe similar injuries, including:
  • burns
  • blisters
  • a peeling/bleeding rash

Suspected Cause and Lack of Company Response

Kroop believes the issue is linked to newer batches of Millie Moon diapers. She claims those batches have an identifiable pattern that extends up to the waistband.

She also said she contacted Millie Moon to ask whether the company is investigating and whether it plans to recall the diapers, but had not received a response at the time of the report.
