Proctor and Gamble is reeling, much like a lot of 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 emergency cash loans) as they do about whether Pampers Dry Max diapers are causing diaper rash.
In the works is pampers recall
Proctor and Gamble’s Pampers Dry Max Diapers are, by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, under investigation. There are complaints that the diapers are causing rashes as well as chemical burns around children’s pelvic areas. Pampers is so far claiming that “It’s one severe rash complaint for every 6 million diaper changes”. At this writing, there is no Pampers recall in effect. Consumers who are, however, 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 Pampers woe tale from a mom
Caroline of Spartanburg, South Carolina, is one of a long list of moms who have had recent problems with Pampers diapers. She had been using Pampers for a couple of years without trouble, until her 22-month-old and 5-month-old began to show heavy rashes. After she tried many creams and saw her children completely change (pain does that), Caroline was fed up. Once the rashes had taken a turn for the worse and became what she describes as “huge, scabby blisters,” she discovered that many other parents had complaints about Pampers diapers. Caroline went to Sam’s Club and got different brands of diapers. Many parents took similar precautions according to the Consumer Affairs website, which leads to a speculation that there are more parents whose children are suffering under what could very easily warrant a Pampers recall.
